PORTLAND — Portland Stage Company announces the opening of the 2014-15 Clauder Competition, a New England-wide playwriting contest. Entries are currently being accepted through March 2, 2015. Early submissions are encouraged. The winning play will be announced in December 2015.
The Clauder Competition was created in 1981 to support New England playwrights and bring their work to the attention of the greater theatrical community.
The Clauder Grand Prize Winner will receive a cash award of $2,500, as well as a full production at Portland Stage with a professional director, designers and actors. The Clauder selects two Gold Prize winners that will each receive $600. The Grand Prize and two Gold Prize winners will be invited to workshop their plays at the Little Festival of the Unexpected, Portland Stage’s new play festival where playwrights, professional theater artists, and audiences develop new works in a nurturing environment.
