Thank you for pointing that out. I hadn't noticed the Southeast region specified because it wasn't in the entry guidelines.
Perhaps Frieda would be willing to open it up nationwide or allow us to duplicated her idea for the west?
Thanks,
Summer

This is exactly what I am planning to do with my students this fall instead of a "fall play." Thank you so much for sharing and please keep us updated with any further news about this project. I'm excited to learn that other theatre educators are thinking along the same lines as me!
All the best,
Summer

Hi folks, Knowing the kind of uncertainty most of us will face in the theatre classroom this year, a friend and I began a project that begins in play-writing and culminates in performance, online or in-person. It's called the 2020 Vision Project and you can check it out at
www.2020visionproject.usHere is a description in a nutshell: you help your students create monologues and short plays (Devised, improv, collaboration, individual, etc) about their personal experiences in 2020. Their best work gets included in a collection that can be performed at no cost. We think our young people have a lot to say and that we should help them express it. Feel free to contact me with questions.
2020 Vision offers your students an opportunity to express their view of these remarkable times. This project will compile a collection of scripts of original dramatic works (monologues or short plays), created by students across the region, and make it available for performance in any manner, virtual or in-person, at no cost. It will allow directors and actors to choose which plays best suit their resources and circumstances. Although the works may address specific events and experiences, we hope they will provide a window for young people in the future to view the world in 2020.
