Playwriting Competition
A ttracts Fifty Man uscripts
Fifty scripts from forty
three authors in 19 states have
been entered in the third Fred
Ballard playwriting contest
hich is sponsored by Ne
braska's University Theater.
Original manuscripts in the
traditional three-act 'form
were entered in thS competi
tion for the three hundred dol
lars in awards for the win
ner. One hundred dollars is
granted to the author of the
prize-winning play so that he
can spend a week at the Uni
versity Theater conferring
with the theater staff and at
tending readings of his play.
The Fred Ballard Memorial
Prize f $200 will be aw arded
to the author when his play
-hag been accepted for per
formance In the University
Theater. The late Fred Bal
lard, for whom the prize is)
named, is a native Nebraskan
from Lincoln. He was a suc
cessful playwright from 1911
1930. A graduate of Nebraska,
his master thesis done at Har
vard became a Broadway
success.
In the past two year's con
tests, there have been two
productions of the w t n n i n g
plays, two TV productions of
the second place plays, and
also a summer production of
a second place play.
Winner
The winner of the play con
test will be announced late
in the fall, and the reading
of the play will take place
in "tli snrinc
The reading aspect of the'
play is the most original part
of the contest. The a ti t i i o r
sees people, motion, and spo
ken words for the first time
and thus receives an "approx
imate performance."
The playwright is then given
the opportunity to make his
own changes and rewrite it
where necessary without the
director and actors "breath
ing down his back." This is
the advantage the reading
system has over the Broad
way method of doing it ''on
the spot."
If the writer sells his play,
Nebraska will give up the
rights to it unless it is in
production.
Specialist '
Dr. Joseph Baldwin. Uni
versity Theater specialist in
theater history and playwrit
ing, revived the contest when
he came to the University in
1958.
He explained that there are
several reasons for the return
of the contest: to stimulate
local interest in playWTiling,
to help the playwrights in the
development of the play, to
meet the need for playwrights
to get the play produced and
see it, and to get Nebraska's
name out as a center for the
Arts. - .
Dr. Baldwin also stressed
the fact the University. The
ater is tryin8 some
thing more than just Sell
tickets. It Is trying to "pre
condition" the audiences so
they will give a new play
the same breaks that they
give a well-known play.
Dr. Baldwin, a published
playwright, has published two
plays and this summer one
of his plavs was produced at
the Fine Arts Festival at the
University Of South Dakota.
He has won the National
playwriting contest at John
Hopkins University, the Texas
Flay rights Award, Theodore
Marburg Award at Johns
Hopkins X'niversity, and the
Birmingham Festival of Arts
Playwriting Award.
Dr. Martin, head of the
teaching staff in TV, is in
charge of the contest for TV
scripts. He had 26 scripts
entered m his one hour's
length T.V. plays. The winner
of this contest Will receive
$100 in order that the author
will be able to visit the Uni
versity during the reheaml
and taping of the script.
The contests were spon
sored by the University The
ater and the Teleision sec
tion of the Department of
Speech and Dramatic Art.
