The Many Voices Project

The Many Voices Project is a playwriting contest and readings festival that embraces all playwrights of color. Working together with Chicago’s race and ethnic specific theatres, Chicago Dramatists is seeking theatrical works by minority playwrights from around the country. From this pool, three will be selected to have their work showcased in a week of staged readings and workshops, with the winning play receiving a $1,000.00 cash prize.

The Many Voices Project also includes a special edition of Chicago Dramatists’ popular 10-Minute Workshop (exclusively for playwrights of color) on Saturday, July 19.
