ARIZONA THEATRE COMPANY ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS FOR 16TH ANNUAL NATIONAL LATINO PLAYWRITING AWARD
The National Latino Playwriting Award was established by Arizona Theatre Company sixteen years ago under the leadership of Playwright-In-Residence Elaine Romero to create a greater awareness of the work being done by Latino playwrights. It has honored many of the nation's leading Latino voices and the chosen plays have had a string of successes across the nation.
Latino playwrights residing in the United States, its territories, or Mexico are encouraged to submit scripts for the Award. The deadline for submissions is December 31, 2011 (scripts must be postmarked by this date). Each script will be read and evaluated by a culturally diverse panel of theatre artists. Finalists will be judged by ATC artistic staff including the Artistic Director, Associate Artistic Director and Literary Manager. The winner will be awarded a $1000 prize. For more information about the National Latino Playwriting Award, please e-mail Jennifer Bazzell, ATC's Literary Manager, at jbazzell@arizonatheatre.org or call (520) 884-8210 ext. 8510.
Recent recipients of the Award are Edwin Sanchez, Raul Garza, Carlos Murrillo, and Karen Zacarias. Felix Pire's winning play, The Origins of Happiness in Latin, was produced by ATC. One of our most recent winners Kristoffer Diaz's The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity was honored as a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2010.
