About the Festival
The SacTown Play Festival has been created to support aspiring playwrights.
The competition has been designed with the goal to inspire, educate and nurture artists and our community towards a thoughtful and humane world view through the art of story-telling.
We desire to help theatre artists find their voices, cultivate social consciousness and prepare for a lasting career. We support new AND established playwrights and incubate new plays.
We seek to make a lasting, life-long impression on our community – inspiring the audience to continue provocative conversations long after the curtain closes.
Festival participants (Playwrights) will be chosen based on script creativity, characterization, and staging potential. The festival will feature six 1-Act plays (must be 10 to 15 minutes long) written by aspiring playwrights.
