ANNOUNCING OUR ​

SWTP ANNUAL PLAYWRITING COMPETITION

2019 WINNERS!

 

BLUE Ribbon Winners (Stage Reading)

These plays are ready to go!

We'll give each of them exposure and feedback from an Austin audience during

a stage reading this spring as we consider each one for full production.

SAPPHIRE HEIGHTS

​

RED Ribbon Winners (Workshop)

These plays are also being considered for full production. 

We'll be working with the writers to confirm technical requirements

can be met successfully within our venues (e.g. set size, special effects). 

They may receive readings at a future date or go directly into production after workshop.
