Young Playwrights for Change

MMT has the privilege of hosting Young Playwrights for Change. Young Playwrights for change is AATE’s National Middle School Ten-Minute Play Writing Competition. We are looking for plays that explore issues of identity, belief, and truth-finding, summarized in the theme “DISCOVERING TRUTH ABOUT OURSELVES AND OTHERS.” How do we discover comforting or uncomfortable truths about ourselves? What do we learn about ourselves or the world around us as a product of the discovery? How do we discover the truth about another person or group of people who have different beliefs and identities from our own? How do we determine truth and non-truth when traditional sources of information are questioned or dismissed? When we discover a truth about ourselves or others, how does that change us and how do we act upon what we have learned? Discovering the truth about who we are is a lifelong process and discovering the truth about others can lead to empathy, understanding, and cooperation. We are asking young people to share their stories about journeys of personal discovery.

See https://www.aate.com/young-playwrights-for-change for style guides, pro tips, and other details surrounding your submission. If you would like to submit your play, please email education@nullmillmountain.org. Deadline to submit is January 31st.
