Every year, scripts remain unfinished.

Ideas stay in notebooks.

Characters never meet an audience.

Not because they weren't good enough…

Because they were never submitted.

Script2Stage exists to discover new writing and champion stories that deserve to be heard. We're inviting playwrights and writers from around the world to submit original monologues and duologues written for performers aged 50+.

Whether you're an established writer or entering a competition for the very first time, this is your opportunity to share your work with our judges and become part of FILM EXPO SOUTH.

Don't spend another year wondering "What if?"

Submit your script and let us discover your story.
