AACT has extended the deadline  to apply to produce a winning play from AACTNewPlayFest to August 1. AACT will select 5-10 member theatres to produce the winning plays. Theatres will be responsible for providing a fully realized production between June 2013 and December 2014 and for bringing in the playwright for a rehearsal or a performance. Theatres will reap these benefits:

-- premiere a national award-winning play

-- national publicity

-- prestige of being selected for a national program

-- working directly with the playwright

-- introducing the playwright to the community

Theatres will be selected in August 2012.
