Open submissions for the 15th Columbus Black Theatre Festival start December 1st to February 28th, 2027. Our theme to celebrate our 15th year is "SECOND CHANCES" because there is hope for change when you give people second chances, when you take a second chance on a dream, when you think your life is over and are given a second chance of life.
We're looking for short one act plays that fit this description to help us celebrate our 15th year of bringing award winning original one-act plays, written by playwrights around the world, to Central Ohio.
Submission instructions and link to upload your play submission will be posted here on December 1st and we look forward to reading your play!
There is hope for change when you give people second chances.
Diary of Recovering Daughters Stage Play
🎭 Diary of Recovering Daughters by Julie Whitney Scott: A Raw Story of Addiction, Relationships, and Healing.
What drives us to escape—and what finally brings us home to ourselves? Diary of Recovering Daughters is a moving new play that pulls back the curtain on chemical dependency, exploring the complex reasons women turn to substances to cope with the weight of painful family dynamics and toxic romantic relationships and father trauma.
Equal parts heartbreaking, honest, and hopeful, this production shines a light on the hidden struggles' women in addiction with mental illness face—and the resilience it takes to break the cycle alongside other women with the same issues.
Join us for Diary of Recovering Daughters—a story of family, relationship dynamics, and the strength found in recovery. Stay after select shows for exclusive live Q&A panel discussions with cast members and addiction advocates!
