University Park acting troupe No Refund Theatre (NRT) is seeking entrants for Tell Me A Story, a short playwriting competition open to students of all Penn State campuses. The inaugural event will take place on April 24, 2015, with a firm submission deadline of March 1, 2015.

In an effort to expand their horizons, NRT is departing from their usual schedule of student-produced plays and musicals to spearhead a short playwriting competition, culminating in an evening of dramatic readings and awards ceremony, with prizes ranging from $50 to $500. Entries should be no longer than fifteen minutes long when read aloud, and must be original pieces, with each participant authoring only one script.

The Tell Me A Story contest committee will blindly review all submissions and choose eight to be read dramatically by a group of actors before an audience and a panel of distinguished judges from the community, student body, and university faculty. The authors of the top three plays will receive monetary awards as well as the opportunity to have their composition produced by NRT the following season.
