The Student Playwrights Project (SPP) is the education component of Arena Stage's commitment to new American voices. In 2012, the annual Ten-Minute Play Competition received nearly 800 play submissions from DC area 5th-12th graders, from which eight winners and sixteen honorable mention plays were selected. The honorable mention plays received staged readings with professional actors in February. The eight winning playwrights had their work performed by professional actors.

The winning plays include: A Place Called High School by Emoni Matthews, Ghost Stories by Steven Duffy, Snowing in October by Keila Cline, Chocolate Bars and a New Life by Sahana Ramani, The Other Side by Scott Bertaut, Quarantine by Sarah Chaikind, Not to Be Mentioned by Madeline Pages, and Purgatory or the Counselor’s Waiting Room by Zoe Davidson.
