Le Petit Theatre de Terrebonne announces its third annual one act playwriting competition, which is open to playwrights of any age, experience, or location. 

 The play should be unpublished and no longer than 30 typed pages, or 30 minutes running time.  It should also be the original work of the author or authors and should be suitable for general audiences.  The top three finalists will be required to present their plays as a staged reading for final judging in late fall on a date to be announced. Cash prizes will be awarded for the places.

 More details and an entry form can be obtained by visiting Le Petit’s website at www.houmalittletheatre.com, or by emailing the committee at lepetit_playwriting@yahoo.com. Interested playwrights can also write to Playwriting Contest, P.O. Box 805, Houma, LA  70361 to have submission guidelines mailed to them.

Playwrights may submit their plays by mailing five copies to the above address, or submitting one copy by email.  Receipt of the mailed manuscript will be acknowledged if a self-addressed stamped postcard is included.  Emailed submissions will be acknowledged by return email.

The deadline for scripts is August 1, 2007.
