Requirements: Northeastern Illinois University is looking for scripts that will be produced as the final production of the Stage Center Theatre Spring 2009 Studio Series. The script must be an original work and not previously produced by a for-profit organization and not have been published. Staged readings and not-for-profit productions will not disqualify a script.

A playwright may submit more than one entry. The script should be neatly typed with a title page including title, playwright’s name, mailing address and phone number. Also, the Application form must accompany the script; the application form is located below.

The Stage Center Theatre staff and reading committee reserve the right to withhold the award if, in their opinion, no entry merits productions.
