Murmuration Theatre Company is seeking plays for our 2026 First Flight Showcase centered around toxic wellness culture, healthcare disparity, body image, and other health, wellness, or beauty issues. Murmuration is particularly interested in exploring how individuals with diverse perspectives navigate a wide array of health and wellness issues, including capitalism's push to make wellness product-centered, rhetoric tying health to morality, inequality in the healthcare system, and the role extreme opinions in media have in shaping these narratives & our internal monologues.

- have a page count between 2-40
