Calling all playwrights—The Players Centre for Performing Arts is proud to announce the acceptance of new plays for its 19th annual Players New Play Festival from now until the hard deadline of April 24, 2020. A committee of judges will select five plays to be presented in a “Reader’s Theater” style format during the week of June 29-July 3, 2020 in The Players Backstage Theatre. The 5 finalists will be announced via The Players website by May 15, 2020. One of the winning plays will be selected as "Best of Series" and might have the chance to be workshopped and produced depending on the availability of space as the theater is moving after April 30th, 2021. Sandra Musicante and Jeffery Kin will once again be the coordinators of the event. 

Submit one hard copy of playwright to: “The Players New Play Festival,” The Players, 838 N. Tamiami Trl., Sarasota. A second electronically transmitted copy needs to be emailed to jefferyk@theplayers.org.
