What is a bake-off?

“Everyone is a storyteller and a writer.” ~ Paula Vogel

Created by playwright Paula Vogel, a bake-off is a writing exercise within a 48 hour period where a list of ingredients inspires people to create a piece of theatre .

Whether you’re a seasoned playwright, an avid theatre-goer, or have never written anything in your life, we want to hear from you!

COVID-19 forced theatres to close, darkening some of our brightest lights. But even though the ghost light is on for now, we want to inspire creativity and encourage the love of theatre until we all get back on stage!

***Be sure to check out the Rules and Formatting
for writing and submitting***

Here’s what will happen.
