DTC's First Annual New Play Contest
Destination Theatre Company's "Destination:
Playwriting" Contest is designed to give St. Louis area 5th graders
and older a chance to exhibit their
writing talents and abilities in the creation of a one-act play. Once
all submissions have been received, a group of judges will select
finalists whose plays will be cast, rehearsed and presented by the theatre
company, with directorial input from the playwrights, at the company’s
Annual New Play Competition and Dessert Auction. All
playwrights submitting plays will receive one complementary ticket to the
New Play Festival performance and will be recognized at the performance.
Audience members at the festival performance will vote for their
favorite play. The winner
and all finalists will receive their awards at the performance.

"Destination: Playwriting" Unit Guide for individual study of

"How do I know what to write
about?" you may be asking. There are many sites online that
deal with plot (story) statements for plays and stories. Two such
sites are listed below. As these sites are not sponsored in any way
by the theatre company, we cannot be held liable for any of their
content. We also do not guarantee that a script based on all of the
provided story ideas would be acceptable for the theatre company's use
(see contest guidelines for content criteria) While we have read some of
the examples, there are more than 2000 on one of the sites and it is not
possible for us to read all of them. If you know or find any other
quality sites containing plot or story ideas, let us know so that we can
pass them on. The site addresses are:
