Deadline: June 10, 2022
The ATG PlayLab, which launched in September 2020, is a professional space for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) and Queer (LGBTQ+) playwrights to develop their works for the stage. Led by Pandora Scooter and comprised of twelve playwrights, the goal for the PlayLab is to help develop marginalized voices to enable the telling of rich and varied stories from all members of our community. Applications are currently being accepted for the program; the deadline is Friday, June 10th.
The group will meet once every week for 12 sessions during the Fall, Spring and Summer via Zoom on Sunday evenings. One additional meeting per month will be called for professional development discussions/workshops (these will not be required, but strongly encouraged). Applicants from anywhere in the US are welcome to apply, though preference will be given to NJ, PA and NY writers.
Sunday evening (6pm to 9pm EST) attendance at meetings is required. From the applicants, playwrights will be chosen to participate in this play development lab. There is no restriction on style of playwriting that the applicants use. There is also no guarantee that acceptance into this PlayLab will result in any public readings or productions by American Theatre Group.
