Kumu Kahua Theatre was founded in 1971 by a group of graduate students at the University of Hawaiʻi, with the original goal of producing locally written experimental works. Bamboo Ridge Press was founded in 1978 to publish literature by, for, and about Hawaiʻi’s people. Each month, they announce a prompt for their play writing contest with a cash prize. Entrants must write and submit their original work based on the monthly requirements. Due date for submissions is always the last day of the month. All entries must be written in traditional play format. More info: Go Try Playwrite | Kumu Kahua Theatre and Free Downloadable Script Formats for Plays and Musicals | Dramatists Guild
September 2024 Prompt for “Go Try PlayWrite”
A joke prompt. First write a joke at the top of the page. The joke does not have to be an original joke you made up. It can be a joke you heard. Then write a ten page maximum scene dramatizing the joke. “Knock knock,” jokes; “why did the…?,” jokes; “did you ever notice”; etc. Any joke you’d like to see acted out. Also, you can just use the joke as inspiration for the scene. You do not have to have a chicken crossing the road…or, you can, if you like. Deadline to Enter: September 30, 2024.
