 June 2026 prompt

A Rip Van Winkle prompt. Write a ten-page maximum scene about a person who wakes up in the future to find that something we know is bad for you at present is found to be good for you in the future. Smoking, hydrogenated fats, micro-plastics, climate change, Donald Trump, whatever is currently detrimental to us. Have fun.

Deadline to Enter: June 30th, 2026 at https://www.kumukahua.org.

Kumu Kahua Theatre was founded in 1971 by a group of graduate students at the
University of Hawaiʻi, with the original goal of producing locally-written experimental
works. The theater educates and trains new generations of aspiring theater
professionals through its living laboratory of productions and public play readings, and by holding classes and workshops in acting, improvisation and playwriting.
