MINI PLAYS

The highly successful and long-running MiniPlay Contest invites students in 3rd-12th grades to participate and write a short play on a selected theme. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place MiniPlay winners will receive public recognition and a staged reading of their winning play by local actors at a special MiniPlay Premiere Party with Ice Cream and Pizza! Grand Prize winners in each category will also receive a $50 cash prize!

Constellation Stage and Screen selects the best plays, based on how well the playwright crafts an original story, characters, and setting based upon the provided theme.

PROJECT CONSTELLATION

What is Project Constellation?

Project Constellation, formerly Project Pigasus, is a state-wide high school screenwriting competition in association with Indiana based film company Pigasus Pictures. Indiana students grades 9-12 submit short screenplays, a winner is chosen, and Constellation brings a professional film crew to the winner’s town to fully produce their movie!

Students are involved in every phase of production. Upon completion, the short film is shown before select in-state screenings of Pigasus Pictures’ feature films, submitted to film festivals nationwide, and is subsequently released online.

Objective

Project Constellation creates a lasting impact on everyone involved. Young Hoosiers are shown how ingenuity, resourcefulness, collaboration, and hard work produces results. Communities are rallied together around a common, prideful purpose. Professional filmmakers are given the opportunity to sharpen their skills and showcase their talents. And Indiana is highlighted across the country as a place where great stories are told.
