For this edition of First Fridays, we are accepting submissions of works-in-progress from writers inspired by the following themes:
Before/After
This theme reflects a possible journey we take within a story. It can be a Before/After of a character(s) personal growth or regression, circumstances of a story where something is different, whether it’s good or bad. The Before/After can also have already happened and we are seeing the results or the results have yet to happen.
We are accepting up to 10 pages of scripts-in-progress from plays, screenplays, web series, or one-acts. Email your 10 pages or less to firstfridays@barrowgroup.org by Saturday, February 26 at 5pm ET. All writers chosen will receive a $50 stipend.
The plays will be cast the night of the event. To be considered for casting, reserve your free ticket and login by 6pm ET on March 4th.
