Eventide’s Playwrights Competition is unique in that it provides all submitting authors the opportunity to have their work critiqued and developed with the assistance of a highly experienced literary coordinator, Steve Reynolds, Professor Emeritus of Theatre at Wittenberg University in Ohio. Steve advised Tom through 3 rewrites of his of his work, as well as providing assistance and critiques to all the other playwright submitting new plays this year.

For over 10 years, Eventide Theatre Company showcases an array of Cape Cod creative voices, including our annual New Playwrights, New Plays: the Jeremiah Kaplan Playwriting Competition and Performance. We accept full-length play manuscripts (please no musicals or previously produced work) from Cape Cod playwrights on or before September 1 each year. Go to our website; www.eventidearts.org, to find out more about how to enter for the 2020 Kaplan Playwrights competition. Submissions are due on September 1, 2019.
