Dear educators! ENOUGH! returns in 2025, and we need your help to share this awesome free opportunity for teen writers with our broader community of teens, educators, and theater artists. Here is our
promotional toolkit, with material for social media and newsletters, as well as one-pagers and posters, and here are handy links that you can repost now:
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS - January 1 - April 1, 2025
ENOUGH! calls on TEENS (ages 13-19) from across the country to write and submit 10-minute plays that confront the issue of gun violence. Six playwrights will receive a $500 stipend, have their plays published, receive memberships to The Dramatists Guild, be featured in our Nationwide Reading, and be flown out to attend our flagship event at The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.

ENOUGH! invites theaters, high schools, colleges, and other organizations of all sizes to produce staged readings of this year's plays for FREE in their community. Performed simultaneously across the country on the same night, these readings are part of an evening of reflection, dialogue, and community action.

More than 140 organizations have participated in ENOUGH!'s Nationwide Readings, involving nearly 3,000 and reaching more than 14,000 people. ENOUGH! is the recipient of the 2024 Theatre for Young Audiences Community Impact Award and the 2023 Goldin Foundation Exemplary Project Award.
