History
The winners of the STC - Sydney Morning Herald Young Playwright's Award recipients receive a cash prize and permission to watch professional directors and actors work with their text and present staged readings of their plays at the Sydney Theatre Company.
Notes
-
'The STC - Sydney Morning Herald Young Playwrights' Award is designed to encourage and assist the development of young playwrights. It also aims to complement the teaching of playwriting in the classroom, by providing an opportunity for students to submit their work to a professional theatre company, and to have their work read by theatre professionals.
Two First Prize winners receive a weekend workshop of their script, working with a professional director, dramaturg and actors; a staged reading of their play at The Wharf; a cash prize and ongoing support from the Australian National Playwrights' Centre.'
