Murphys Creek Theatre

Our panel of judges is ready to begin reviewing scripts and will select three plays to move forward as staged readings. Selected playwrights will be notified directly, with finalists announced publicly in September. Each finalist playwright will receive a $200 honorarium . Finalist scripts will be presented as professionally curated staged readings on October 7, 14, and 21 at 7:00 PM. Directors, performers, and technicians are drawn entirely from a pool of local, professional artists. Following each reading, audiences will be invited to share real-time feedback to help inform the final selection. One script will be chosen from the finalists and further developed for a full mainstage production in Murphys Creek Theatre’s 2027 Season .
