youngplaywrightsWinners of Syracuse Stage’s 2014 Young Playwrights Festival will receive a staged reading of their works on Tuesday, April 29, at 7 p.m. in the Archbold Theatre at the Syracuse Stage/Drama Complex, 820 E. Genesee St.

From the submissions, 16 semi-finalists were invited to a writing workshop at Syracuse Stage, where their plays were read by SU Drama students and critiqued by Syracuse Stage staff members. Semi-finalists then had a chance to edit their plays based on the critiques and resubmit. Eight finalists were then chosen for their works to be read on April 29.
