Hello Playwrights and Theatre Makers!
Notable Acts is happy to announce our twenty-second annual province-wide playwriting competition! Contest winners will have their work featured in the 2023 NotaBle Acts Summer Theatre Festival, held in Fredericton: from July 26th – August 5th.
If you’re a New Brunswick playwright, we are seeking submissions in three main categories: one for 15-30 minute site-specific plays, one for 7-10 minute short plays, and another for 30-60 minute one-act plays. Two additional contest categories are for New Brunswick Middle and High school playwrights.
Visit our website at and click “NotaBle Acts 2023 Playwriting Competition” to find the contest rules and guidelines on submitting scripts. If you’ve submitted plays to the festival before, please review this year’s rules and regs for changes and updates.
Questions about the contest can be directed to lfalken@unb.ca or (506) 458-7406. The deadline for the main contest is April 30th, 2023. The Middle School and High School contest closes on May 15th, 2023.
