Call for playwright! Tacoma Arts Live is commissioning up to two new plays as part of its on-going Civil Rights Legacy program. Geared for audiences from Kindergarten through adults, this new work will explore the civil rights and social justice stories of communities whose living history is often marginalized. Possible stories could include (but are not limited to) the resilience of local Indigenous communities, LGTBQ+ communities, and women’s movements across time. Tacoma Arts Live is interested in bringing forward stories that are rooted in the playwright’s lived experience, so we look to the playwright to identify the civil rights and social justice story that is authentic to them. To be initially considered, please send a resume, proposed script/story concept and short writing sample(s) of past work to education@tacomaartslive.org<mailto:Education@tacomaartslive.org>. The panel will read up to ten pages of the submitted writing sample. The deadline is September 22, 2024 at 5:00 pm PST.
