The Arts Beat is a weekly deep-dive into Memphis arts, music, dance, theater, fashion, film and events. Keep scrolling for a roundup of the best arts and culture stories from the week. Have a story idea? Send it to eperry@dailymemphian.com.
A new program aims to help 10-12 Memphis-area playwrights develop a full-length script draft in 10 weeks.
At the end of the program, which is free to enter and participate in, one play will receive a public, staged reading.
Applications are open for LoneTree Live’s Seed to Script Playwright Development Program through Dec. 7. If they don’t have a script, applicants can submit other forms of writing, such as a short story or poem. Applicants must be living within 75 miles of the Memphis metropolitan area.
