Plays written by students from each of the following grade bands will be given public readings by Boston-area actors through Lyric Stage Company!

- 3rd to 5th Grade
- 6th through 8th grade
- 9th through 12th grade

Submission Guidelines
- Submissions will be accepted through January 28, 2021
- Plays must be the original work of the person submitting the work.
- Play adaptations or team-written plays will not be considered.
- Plays should be between 2 and 12 pages long.

Submissions should include a Cover Letter, Title Page, Cast of Characters, and (optional) Setting and Time, all as a single document.

Feedback Process
After review, plays will be placed into one of these three categories:

Ready to Go. Plays that are deemed “ready to go” will require very little, if any, revision and readings will be scheduled immediately.

Almost There. Playwrights whose plays fall into this category will be given feedback and time to make revisions. Once plays are “ready to go,” readings will be scheduled.

Great Start Plays in this category will also be given feedback, and playwrights will be given the opportunity to work on their craft. “Great start” plays may be given readings.

All entries will be given thoughtful feedback.
