4th Annual TYA Playwrights Festival

ThinkTank’s TYA Playwrights Festival is a developmental program dedicated to providing a working forum for progressive and forward-thinking TYA productions for today’s theatres. The goal is a collaborative workshop process, with local Tampa Bay Theatre professionals and members of our YAE Company, allowing time for playwrights to hear and adapt their work. Submissions for the festival will open to playwrights across North America in January of 2024. The festival reading panel will narrow down submitted plays to no more than four plays for the festival show case. For the 2023 Play Fest, over 470 plays were submitted from across North America and two were selected to festival show case.

​In addition to the selected play readings, ThinkTank will also fully produce one of the plays from 2023’s Play Fest selections as part of the 2024 Festival.

​Recommended ages vary due to content.
