Lama Theater Company and the Playwrights Project

web site

Lama Theater Company (NYC) and the Playwrights Project (Israel) presents:

The Monthly Swap October 2015

We are NOW accepting submissions for The Monthly Swap!

What is the Monthly Swap?

Well it is very similar to Lama Theater Company’s Monthly Question (Our cold reading series of new and bold writing around Lama’s monthly question) but this time the question is with a TWIST...

Throughout the month of September we are going to ask the same question in New York and in Tel Aviv, and receive submissions of short plays /Monologues/Poems and songs until the beginning of October.

We will choose five/ six pieces that address the question differently from each country.

THEN… we SWAP the artist’s work so that Israeli artists work will be pres ented in New York and the American artists work will be presented in Tel Aviv.


Our Mission: Lama means WHY in Hebrew. The Lama Theater Company is a writer/director-driven company that continually raises questions and fearlessly searches for artistic exploration.

Important Dates:

Oct 4th- Playwrights/ Poets/ Song writer’s submission deadline

Oct 8th -Announcement of chosen works.

Oct 19th - performance night at 8:30pm in New York and Israel.

Casting on the spot starts at 8pm, show at 8:30pm.


New York Location: The Kriane Theater (85 East 4th Street, NYC)

Tel Aviv Location: Ozen Bar (King George St 48, Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel)
