Miami Childrens Theater has created a playwrights' festival for Miami-Dade County kids 13 to 18, but the company isn't just looking for scripts. It is holding three free workshops (the first is from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday) to help the aspiring young writers learn how to create stageworthy short scripts.
Called "Always Write!," the contest has a deadline of Dec. 15. A panel will choose five finalists Jan. 4, and the five scripts will be performed for a panel of writers and actors on Jan. 28. That panel will pick a first-place winner, who gets $250, and a runner-up, who'll get a $150 prize.
The workshops take place at the Alper Jewish Community Center, 11155 SW 112th Ave., Kendall. Attendance at a minimum of one workshop is required for anyone who wants to enter the contest; the second workshop is from 1 to 4 p.m. Nov. 5, the third from 1 to 4 p.m. Dec. 3.
