Material: Full-Length or One-Act Plays
Staged readings of new plays, each one produced for an audience and accompanied by a production critique with audience participation. Selected plays may also be considered for production in the Department’s theatre season.

*Entries must be original full-length or one-act plays which have neither been produced nor published. (NOTE: Special interest will be given to scripts that increase awareness of health disparities that exist among African Americans and other minority groups in the U.S. ).
* Each playwright may submit only one script.
*Scripts must be typewritten or word processed and securely bound within a cover.
*Title page must include name, street and email (if applicable) addresses and phone number(s).
*Each script must be accompanied by two (2) stamped, self-addressed business envelopes.
*All playwrights will be notified when plays selected for staged readings are announced in March. One to three staged readings will occur in the spring (depending on length of plays).
*Only scripts selected for staged readings will receive critiques. Critiques will follow staged readings and involve audience participation. Playwrights must be present for critiques.
* The NCCU Department of Theatre reserves the right to accept or reject any play submitted.
* Scripts will not be returned unless accompanied by a self-addressed envelope with sufficient postage. All entries will be handled with extreme care, but North Carolina Central University is not responsible for lost or damaged scripts.
* Scripts should be mailed or delivered by December 1 to:
