The Veterans Center for the Performing Arts (VCPA) is seeking stories
and plays written by military veterans for a three-year theater initiative.
The goal of the project is to provide military veterans who write from or
about the military experience the opportunity and arena to work with theater
professionals in the development and presentation of new works and plays.

Each year, five stories/scripts will be selected for workshops and public
readings conducted by professional directors and dramaturges using
professional actors. Playwrights will be invited to attend the workshop and
reading of their play. An honorarium, travel, room and board may be
provided. Two scripts will be chosen for production.

WHO SHOULD APPLY: All emerging and experienced playwrights who
write from or about the military experience are invited to apply. Also family
members of veterans are encouraged to share their personal experiences
with veterans.

WHAT TO SEND: Stories. Full length plays. Solo performance artists
whose work is text based should send full text in manuscript form. Please
include a bio or resume and full contact information including an email
address if you have one. Scripts will not be returned.

DEADLINE: Ongoing.
