3 Seasons Community The-ater is accepting original scripts as part of a contest being spon-sored by the newly formed Eliza-bethton theater group.

Submissions to the group’s first annual Play Contest will be-come eligible for performance by 3 Seasons Community Theater. Submissions will be accepted be-tween April 1 and July 1.

“We want to encourage the talented writers in our area to submit original works which can be performed by our theater group,” said Gwendolyn Honeyc-ut Creek, vice president, secretary

and historian for the group. “Writers may only submit

one script, which has not been performed or published. Scripts must be between 60 and 120 pag-es, non-musical, full-length dra-mas with no limit to the number of characters. Playwrights are discouraged from including of-fensive language, sexual situa-tions or violence.

The committee will choose three winning scripts and will notify finalists and winners by Sept. 1. Winners will be publicly announced at the theater’s fall production.

Creek said the winning play will receive $50 and a guaran-

teed performance. The winning play will be performed between August 2014 and December 2015, and the winning playwright will receive two tickets to the produc-tion of his or her choice.

The theater will perform at least two of the plays and will pay a royalty of $25 per performance to the playwright. The second-place winner will receive $20 and third place will receive $10.

The fee to submit a script and request guidelines is $6 in the form of cash or money order.
