"Getting your script read and moving it from concept to stage is an intricate and challenging process, even for accomplished playwrights.

This year we wanted to offer an opportunity for playwrights with one-acts. These scripts certainly have a place on stage, and they allow many more writers to get exposure," says Fred Rohan-Vargas, founder of Mixing it Up Productions and an Off-Broadway Producer of Money Talks. "We are very grateful to the judges for their commitment and time to further growth in our industry."
