Each year, Theater Masters hosts a national 10-minute playwriting competition among the MFA students at the top MFA Playwriting programs in the country. Participating schools have included: Brown University, Brooklyn College, Cal Arts, Carnegie-Mellon University, Columbia University, New York University, University of California-Los Angeles, University of California-San Diego, University of Iowa, the University of Texas at Austin, and the Yale School of Drama. 5-6 top plays are selected, by an esteemed guest adjudicator along with a reading panel made up of industry professionals, from submissions by these schools. This is a unique and career-starting program for these young playwrights. The festival culminates in a public, Equity showcase in New York City.
