DQT PlayTime 2025-26 Application

Website

Deadline: September 2, 2025

SUBMISSION FORM


Tuesdays 10/21/25 -- 12/9/25, from 6pm - 9pm EST, via Zoom.

PLAYTIME is a new play development and presentation program that centralizes Female-identifying or BIPoC playwrights with early drafts of plays. This program is for playwrights who already have a full draft of a play.

PT is conducted online and uses an instructor-led curated classroom format with the goal of working constructively toward advancing each matriculant’s vision for their play.

Since public engagement is an equally important component of both the PT experience and the DQT mission, up to three excerpts of pieces developed in PT are chosen by the artistic and executive directors for presentation in an online showcase.

To be eligible for PT, you must be BIPoC or Female-identifying, have an early draft of a play, and submit the required materials by deadline. Additionally, participants must be able to attend all 8 sessions in their entirety

Up to 12 matriculants will be selected based on early drafts of their plays, interviews, and other submission materials (i.e., artistic statements, resumes, etc.)

PlayTime will be conducted via Zoom from 6-9:00pm (EST) on 8-consecutive Tuesdays between October 21 – December 9.

DQT is proud to announce this season's PT instructor will once again be OBIE Award winner Carmen Rivera Tirado.
