Minnesota Shorts is looking for scripts from Minnesota playwrights for its 2016 festival in Lincoln Community Theatre, Mankato. Any state writer can submit up to two short plays to mnshorts@yahoo.com from January 1 through March 1, 2016. Scripts must be 10 pages or less and in a pdf format. Keep your name and address and contact phone on the title page so the scripts can be read blind. This year, Minnesota Shorts has partnered with Merely Players, who help select the plays to be performed at the festival and will handle all directing and casting.

Each night of the festival, the audience picks a Best of the Fest play, which will win $100. For more information, go to www.mnshorts.com.
