The Skinny

In the spirit of this Suzan-Lori Parks’ achievement of writing a play a day for a year, The Write On Playwriting Competition gives everyone in the Middletown area the challenge of writing a play a day for a week. At the end of the week, a panel composed of Matt Connolly and Gabriel Fries will select one play from each day to be workshopped and performed in a 24-hour period by the Wesleyan 365 Cast under the direction of Nikhil Melnechuk and Jessica Posner. They will be performed at the closing ceremonies on Sunday Feb. 11th.

The Rules:
• Open to all Wesleyan students, alums, and members of the Middletown community!
• Submit one play a day, Mon Feb. 5th to Fri Feb. 9th
to gfries@wesleyan.edu & mconnolly@wesleyan.edu
• Plays due at 12 am each day
• Each play should be 5 pages or less
• Plays can be about ANYTHING!!!
• Writers encouraged, but not required, to write a play every day. Prizes for people who submit a play all five days.
