The NotaBle Acts Theatre Company is seeking submissions for its twenty-third annual provincewide playwriting competition. Contest winners will have their work featured as part of the 2024 NotaBle Acts Summer Theatre Festival, to be held in Fredericton, July 25-August 3.

New Brunswick playwrights have the opportunity to submit work in three main categories, one for 7-10 minute short plays, one for 30-60 minute one-act plays, and another for 15-30 minute site-specific plays.

Winning playwrights will also receive a cash prize and script mentoring from a professional playwright.
