Entries for college students aged 18 to 22 (including recent graduates) are currently open and can be submitted at broadwayworld.com/nextonstage. Submissions are open through midnight on May 8th. Entries for high school students aged 14-17 are also now open.
Judging the college competition will be Olivier Award winner Lesli Margherita, Kate Rockwell, and Courtney Reed. The judges for the high school round include Jackie Burns, Arielle Jacobs, and a Kyle Taylor Parker. Both sets of judges will be joined by a fourth guest judge each week!
Those moving on to the next round each week will have Friday through Monday to record and submit a new song for the next round of the competition!

5) Premiere Project from Thirdwing
A Streaming Theater Company
THE FEMALE GENIUS
Thirdwing, a digital theater company designed to develop plays directly for streaming as well as for the live stage, has launched its first streaming theater project, Rachel Carey’s THE FEMALE GENIUS on its streaming platform. The production is open for streaming review.
In series of short plays, set up as six separate “episodes,” a dying Emily Dickinson verbally abuses her caring sister; Gertrude Stein's lover wants "to be the man" for a change; Mary Shelley procrastinates on writing Frankenstein by seducing Lord Byron; JK Rowling can’t pay the babysitter; Ayn Rand encourages a young acolyte to assault her; and Zora Neale Hurston’s pro-segregation speech upends white expectations. THE FEMALE GENIUS is a darkly comic look at the struggle of having great talent in a misogynistic world.
All six plays are now available to stream and are under 10 minutes each.
Thirdwing is the first theater company to merge the live experience with the streaming experience, not to supplement one for the other. THE FEMALE GENIUS was supposed to have a concurrent live production happen at The Wild Project to coincide with the streaming launch. Covid-19 scuttled that plan.
