Ascending Playwrights Program
The Ascending Playwright Program is a mentorship opportunity for new playwrights age 18-25.
Writers awarded a spot on our Ascending Playwright list will receive...
- a private digital reading of their new play featuring professional actors
- a mentorship session with our Playwright in Residence; Grant MacDermott
- a featured spot on our social media and website
We are offering 5 spots in our program. Readings will take place once a month from March to July 2021.
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
