Each entry is guaranteed a minimum of 3 reads/evaluations by a volunteer committee. After much reading and discussion, this committee selects 12 semi-finalists. A second committee selects the 6 finalists. During FutureFest weekend, the plays are performed (3 fully staged, 3 staged readings) and publicly adjudicated by a panel of 5 theatre professionals (New York based and regional). Following the final production of the weekend, the adjudicators meet and select the winner. |
