Everyone who submitted to this year’s inaugural Green Violet Script Call has something to be proud of. They addressed one of the most pressing topics of our day and explored the intricacies and complexities of the climate conversation in original, creative, engaging, and even, uplifting ways.
Of the several scripts written by the Tisch community that were submitted to this year’s Green Violet script call, the three scripts deemed the most compelling by our judges are:
The Family Saves a Life by jose sebastian alberdi
“Eerie, moving and effective. This play accurately and effectively captures the existential dread of what it means to bring a child into a dying world, while simultaneously telling a story about a group of people with extreme/complicated views. Smart and impressive.”
Proxima by Salvatore Aprile
“A fresh take on a tried-and-true sci-fi set up, with intriguing characters and a well thought out world. Highly enjoyable and expertly crafted.”
Happenstance by Samuel Hutchison
“This script was masterfully written, weaving horror and dark comedy together to create a world that’s colorfully unhinged. From the rituals to the language, the characters to the environment, the elements work together to create a story so strange, it lingers after the final page.”
Sanctum by Mickey Falcone
“In the span of 10 pages, Falcone established a distinctive world and a compelling source of conflict, making this piece a vivid – and original – sample of dramatic work.”
Interstate by Lauren Koo
“Unique and interesting, subtly evoking key ideas surrounding extraction, colonization, and the dangers of greed.”
Thanks to everyone for their important work, and congratulations to our winning writers.
