Writers of the purple page invited for Zane Grey playwriting contest

The Friends of the Altadena Library District and the Moveable Theatre Company announce a collaborative venture: a Zane Grey Playwriting Contest.

Local playwrights will have the opportunity to dramatize the life of the long-time Altadena resident, famed author Zane Grey.  The submitted plays must be original, unpublished works, no longer than 60 minutes in length.

Deadline for submission is December 31, 2009.  The winning play will be performed as a staged reading by the Moveable Theatre Company at the former home of Zane Grey in Altadena in the spring of 2010. The winning playwright will receive a $100 cash prize, a video of their play being performed as a staged reading and will be able to participate in a question and answer session with the audience and actors, following the performance.

For a complete list of contest rules and a Memo of Understanding that must be signed and returned in order to be enrolled in the contest, potential entrants may write to:  The Moveable Theatre Company, 343 W. Central Avenue, Unit O, Monrovia, CA 91016; or email: hollwith@roadrunner.com
