SARANAC LAKE -- Pendragon Theatre is looking for submissions for its annual Young Playwrights’ Festival, which will take place at the theater on April 11.

All seventh- through-12th grade playwrights across the Adirondack Park are being asked to submit original one-act plays and musicals to be judged by the Pendragon team for a chance to be presented on a professional stage.

The deadline for submissions has been extended to Feb. 16.

The winning playwrights will work with a creative team of a director, dramaturg, designers, and actors to develop and stage the script. Students should expect a vibrant discussion of the work, a full rehearsal with the artistic team, and opportunities to re-write their plays.

The festival culminates in a full performance of the winning plays and a script-in-hand public reading of the runners-up. Pendragon artists will work with interested students and classes to present play writing workshops. In order to be eligible, plays must be between 10 and 30 pages long, and can be on the subject of the writer’s choosing. Co-writing with other students is allowed.

There are no fees to submit a play, and up to three plays per playwright or play writing team may be submitted. Pendragon will contact winners in early March.
