The Association is seeking plays and performance texts created by women which reflect a feminist perspective and contain a majority of opportunities for women performers. Scripts may be produced or unproduced. There is no limitation on length, style, or subject. The Association encourages submissions by and about women from a diversity of positions in respect to race, class, sexual preference, physical ability, age, and geographical region. Further information is contained in the guidelines which may be obtained by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the address above.
Awards are renewable for a maximum of two years.
Candidates must pursue a master's degree in piano pedagogy at the University while holding the assistantship. Further information is available from Dr. Roberson at the above address. Only plays which have not been professionally produced or received tradebook publication are eligible. Musicals and children's plays will not be accepted. The winning play will be produced by the Department of Theater Arts, and half of the cash award is intended to cover travel and living expenses for the playwright while he or she is in residence for the production of the play.
