The Great Trans* Play Contest, directed by trans* artist Delia Kropp, this international competition is open exclusively to playwrights who are transgender, gender queer, gender fluid, non-binary, or of other gender nonconforming identities, all referred to here as "trans*. The mission of this new competition is to specifically encourage new stories touching the trans* community and its members which are told with authentic trans* voices and thereby provide valuable opportunities for trans theatre artists in the disciplines of performance, direction, and management. In the process, Pride Films and Plays will foster trans* identified authors and help amplify their work within the queer and general theatre communities.
Specific benefits to the winning submission will include a cash award, and further development in a week-long rehearsal workshop under the direction of Pride Films and Plays company member and trans* artist Delia Kropp, culminating in two publicly performed staged readings at Pride Films and Plays' home, the Pride Arts Center.
