Re: RAT Playwrights' Opportunities
Hey Melissa,
Where do you get all this info? It's exactly the kind of thing I want to be distributing to the Playwrights' Center's writers, but we had none of these notices before you sent them. What are your sources?
Thanks,
Megan

Here's a butt-load of calls and contests that I recently forwarded to
Impact's playwrights email list. I thought some of you might be interested.
Two of them require a small submission fee, but I clearly marked those in
case you want to avoid/ignore/send nasty emails about them. Please don't
send the nasty emails to me, though. Don't shoot the messenger.
