The Fort Wayne Civic Theatre Announces The Winners Of Northeast Indiana Playwright Contest

In addressing the creative writing needs of the communities we serve, the Civic Theatre has established a playwright festival encouraging emerging and professional playwrights to submit their unproduced and unpublished one act or full-length plays to be presented as a reading or production at our "Civic Off-Main" location in June 4-6, 2010. When the imagination is free to explore, not knowing any boundaries, and without intimidation, self-esteem and confidence matures in developing one's craft. Being a playwright requires soul searching, risk taking, courage, research, readings, feedback, and lots of rewriting that will hopefully lead to a fully staged production. The Civic Theatre continues to foster the creative potential that is within us as actors, dancers, singers and now as playwrights.

The Fort Wayne Civic Theatre is proud to announce the winners of the first Northeast Indiana Playwright contest!
