In a workshop environment, selected plays are mounted with full production value and receive at least six performances in Backdoor’s 170 seat Mainstage theatre. Submitted plays are processed through a play-reading panel, and selection is made in collaboration with the theatre’s professional staff. The selected play is cast from the community theatre talent pool and rehearses for five weeks. Each selected script is considered a “work in progress” and every practical effort is made to achieve a collaborative state among cast, crew, director, producer and playwright.

One-In-Ten Screenplay Competition - Open to all writers. At least one of the primary characters in the screenplay must be a positively portrayed gay or lesbian character.
