Swan Day Women Playwrights Celebration
March 31 and April 1 at ACT in Seattle
Call for Scripts
ATTENTION: Women Playwrights
Women playwrights living in the Puget Sound area are invited to submit short plays for possible inclusion in DramaQueen’s Swan Day celebration, to take place on Saturday, March 31st and Sunday, April 1st at ACT Theatre. The event will feature script-in-hand readings of short plays.
Support Women Artists Now (SWAN) Day is an international holiday on the last Saturday of March that celebrates women artists. By focusing attention on the work of women artists, SWAN Day helps people visualize a world in which women’s art and perspectives are fully integrated. The long-term goal is to inspire communities to find new ways to recognize and support women. For more information, visit WomenArts at http://www.womenarts.org/swan/.

Limit one submission per playwright, 12-minutes maximum (less is fine). Standard play formatting is required, and there are no thematic requirements or limitations.
