Deadline: August 17, 2025
SUBMISSION FORM
Do you have a play that’s ready to get off the page and into the rehearsal room? The Larking House is now accepting unproduced plays for the 2025 installment of our Playwright’s Intensive, a writer-driven program to jumpstart your new play and lead the shape of its development.
This season, we're seeking 6 new scripts by local and remote playwrights to be workshopped and presented over their own weeklong programs. Each play will be cast and directed over a series of playwright-oriented workshop rehearsals, culminating in a staged reading and response session from invited respondents. The intensives will take place between October 26th and December 13th, with one playwright’s work explored and developed each week. This year we will have four remote sessions for playwrights anywhere, and two in-person readings for California-local playwrights in the Orange County area!
