KCACTF Region VII

New Playwriting Program Resource Page

NPP is dedicated to supporting student playwrights in the development of their original work for the stage, with dramaturgical and performance opportunities that emphasize respect for the written word and for the playwright’s contribution to the theatrical process. 

This resource page is here to better guide the student playwrights and their faculty mentors of KCACTF Region VII on how to submit for the regional/national festival and offer some excellent resources for playwrights at any level needing some guidance.

The scheduled readings and responses to these plays can be found on the main festival Whova schedule, or you can click here to find the information of all NPP events.

All 10-Minute and One-Act plays need to be submitted at the regional level before moving on to the national level. Click the above image of script pages for more info!

Most of these submissions will be for longer one-acts and full-length considerations. Click the image of the tablet typewriter for more information.

There are a lot of considerations in creating and submitting the script. Hopefully this page can offer some insights. Click on the image of a script above for more information.
