The School of Theatre is proud to announce the return of the SciArts New Play Festival, taking place April 13-15, 2025. We are inviting playwrights to submit an original work that explores the intersections of science and art. Playwrights selected will be brought Baton Rouge for a public reading, offering an opportunity to refine their work in collaboration with theatre professionals. Additionally, playwrights selected will receive $500, a free year long subscription to www.playsubmissionhelper.com, and recognition of their contribution to the festival.
