PORT TOWNSEND — The five winning playwrights of the 2015 One Act Play Competition — sponsored by the Port Townsend Arts Commission — will be recognized for their works this evening at Key City Playhouse, 419 Washington St.
Competitors living within Jefferson County last summer submitted one-act plays ranging in length from 10 minutes to 60 minutes for consideration.
No previously performed or published plays were accepted.
Judges then selected the best five plays from those submitted as winners.
Their works will be brought to life on stage in March during PT PlayFest 20, an annual 10-day event produced by Key City Public Theatre.
Tonight’s ceremony
During tonight’s ceremony, the Port Townsend Arts Commission will present awards to the five writers.
Short excerpts from selected plays will be performed at the ceremony, providing a sneak preview of PT PlayFest 20, which opens March 3 at Key City Playhouse and the nearby Pope Marine Building.
This event is free and open to the public.
Light refreshments will be served in the Playhouse lobby at an informal reception for the playwrights at 5:30 p.m.; the ceremony will begin at 6 p.m.
Playfest 20
PT Playfest 20 will include the five winning one-act plays; staged readings of full-length plays in development by Richard Dresser and Darrah Cloud; a sneak peak of the musical, “Port Townsend’s Christmas Carol: A Ghostly Musical;” and the Port Townsend Arts Commission’s annual free playwriting workshop.
