by an amateur or professional production prior to its premiere
by RLT.

THE
JUDGING
- Judging is blind, meaning judges will not know
the authors of any script.
- Identity of the judges will remain confidential
until the close of the contest, at which time the judges' names
will appear on RLT's website.
- Manuscripts will not be critiqued or returned.
- The decision of the judges is final.
- Regina Little Theatre is an amateur community
theatre. While we encourage thoughtful and innovative writing,
scripts with highly experimental plots, extreme violence and/or
graphic sex, and scripts involving expensive sets or unusual
casting (no elephants!) may not make the final cut.
- The winning play must be performable on a conventional
box stage.
