YOUR PLAY YOUR WAY: SLAMS AND GAMES by Jeff Jenkins & Anne Negri

As TYA playwrights, we are always looking for ways to get our work noticed. We enter competitions, ask friends and family to read our scripts, send our plays to networking contacts, and hope that someone sees something special in our writing. In addition to the more traditional methods, there are a few unique opportunities for playwrights to share their work in a more immediate, high-energy, risk-taking, yet satisfying fashion.
