The Maine Youth Playwriting Challenge is an online challenge for young playwrights in Maine, to challenge and support each to write a play during this unique time of social distancing. These plays may take many forms, from realistic family dramas to utter absurdity.  This challenge will take place while school is not in session and challenge young playwrights to write short plays, focusing on: setting, character, structure and more! Sign-up for the challenge at any time using the link below, and join us each day at 3:30 for a live play-writing advice session on our facebook page!

Today’s meeting: Revision! Writing a play is all about going back and reading what you wrote. Does it make sense? Are you true to your characters? What is the spine of your play anyway? How is the setting affecting the choices your characters make? Does your structure make sense? This is the time when playwrights read, and revise, and read and revise again. It’s also the time for hearing your play aloud! So, any volunteers to virtually show and tell? #cmtmplaywritingchallenge
