Hey, Stage 32 Community!

The Longest Running Comedy Screenplay Contest in the World is Back!

Ever dreamt of seeing your feature comedy script come to life on the big screen or streaming on flat-screens in living rooms across the country? This is your chance to turn that dream into reality! Laughing until we cry is one of the bedrocks of entertainment. From the goofy nostalgic delight of BAD BOYS: RIDE OR DIE to the relentless hi-jinx of THE FALL GUY and the emotional depth of THE HOLDOVERS, audiences can’t get enough laughter with their powerful storytelling. This year alone, comedies like BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE and DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE have topped the box office. The appetite for hilarious comedies is insatiable, and we want your story to be the next smash hit!

Stage 32 is proud to present the 9th Annual Comedy Feature Screenwriting Contest!

If you have a comedy story that needs to be told, now is the time to show us what you've got, because our goal is to amplify your voice, give you the access Stage 32 is known for, and take your writing career to the next level!
