Calling All Local Playwrights: New Play Event Set for June 14, 2026

Interested in trying your hand at playwriting or already an accomplished writer? Start writing now or dust off that draft that needs editing. Submit a 10-minute play for an opportunity to have it produced if it is selected for Union County Playmakers’ New Play Event. Performances will be held at the Union County Community Arts Council on Sunday, June 14 at 3 p.m. The submission deadline is May 16, 2026.

Writers ages 15 and older from Union and surrounding counties may submit original work (no adaptations) that has not been previously published or performed and is suitable for general or youth audiences. Submissions may be rejected if they are determined to be inappropriate or if they cannot be produced under the production restrictions of time and space. No more than two scripts per playwright may be submitted.

Playmakers will provide the space for auditions, one technical rehearsal, and performance, and may also provide minimal set pieces. Playmakers will also promote the event, hold auditions, and assist with identifying a director.
