The Pittsburgh New Works Festival (PNWF) is now accepting one-act plays that have never before been produced. Twelve one-act plays will be selected to be performed as Mainstage productions for the festival’s 29th season, which begins in September; an additional six will be selected for our LabWorks staged reading series, to be performed the last two Sundays of August.
Each of the 12 playwrights whose plays are selected for Mainstage production will receive a $50 honorarium.
The playwright who receives the most votes for Outstanding Contribution by a Playwright in the balloting for the Donna Awards will receive $500, to be awarded at the Gala in October. All playwrights will receive brief comments from at least two readers. For more information, please contact us at info@pittsburghnewworks.org or call 412-944-2NEW (2639)
