Final judging begins this week!

The 2013 NJ Young Playwrights Festival has moved into the final round of judging today. Of the 328 plays received, 33 have been forwarded to our Selection Panel for their consideration. Panelists will read those plays over the next few weeks and winning playwrights will be contacted by the end of the month.

However, our sincerest congratulations to everyone who wrote a play and submitted it to the Festival. Congratulations on your excellent work!

Rolling along

This weekend we will begin the second round of script reading for the New Jersey Young Playwrights Festival. Our readers have been saying wonderful things about how impressed they have been with your scripts and how much fun it has been to read them!
