Current WGA members are asked to write a 10-minute play that centers on the themes of picketing or striking.
The American Playwriting Foundation will grant $10,000 each to six Writers Guild of America members who are chosen as the winners in a new playwriting contest.
The grant money, which is given out under the existing program of The Relentless Award, is intended to help WGA writers who are unable to work in TV and film during the strike. The playwrights must be current WGA members and must write a 10-minute play that centers on the theme of picketing or striking. Submissions are open through Sept. 5.
The plays will be performed in a special benefit performance at Theatre Row in New York by a cast including Wayne Brady, Billy Crudup, Vincent D’Onofrio, Gina Gershon, Walton Goggins, Natasha Lyonne, Sam Rockwell, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Liev Schreiber and Yul Vazquez. Five finalists will also be selected and will receive $1,000 each.
