Mine 4 God Productions (M4GP) is now accepting creative works that share the belief that people have the right to choose what they want for their life.
Our theme in 2023 is “The Right to Choose”
Who they love. Where they live. What they do with their bodies. To live or die with dignity. To be single or married. To be male or female or both. And any other "right" that you as the playwright feels fits our theme and is questioned by others who feel they have the "right" to judge you. It must be a story that is a story and not a lecture to push your views on others. It must be about everyday people and their everyday lives and how they choose to live it.
We are accepting monologues and one-act plays that have diversity, inclusion, and equity of Black and Brown characters for our 11th Annual Columbus Black Theatre Festival (CBTF) that will be held July 7-9th, at The Columbus Performing Arts Center Van Fleet Theatre in downtown Columbus, Ohio. Submission dates are December 1, 2022, to February 28, 2023.
The entries need to meet the following criteria:
ONE-ACT PLAYS
1) No more than 4 characters (6 characters can play double-role.)
2) No derogatory, hate based, sexually explicit work will be reviewed or accepted.
3) Have minimal set/light requirements.
