  • Playwright Support Programs

    The Playwrights Realm made major adjustments to our program offerings mid-way through our 2019-20 Season to better serve our playwrights during the COVID-19 pandemic. We continued with our modified programs in our 2021 and 2022 Seasons (FY21-FY22), focusing 100% on artist services, and successfully supported the work of over 250 playwrights through the following programs: (1) The Writing Fellowship, which takes four promising early-career writers through an open submission process and provides Fellows with creative guidance, monthly meetings, a public reading in our INKD Festival, and more; (2) The Scratchpad Series, which aims to erase the geographic and economic limitations of workshopping a show with early-career playwrights from across the nation; (3) The Realm Playwrights Program, which provides playwrights with continued support after their initial engagement with The Realm offering continued artistic guidance, readings of new work, retreats and writers groups, as well as additional funding for other needs; and (4) Aspiring Playwrights Program, which includes Script Share, which pairs aspiring playwrights by lottery with industry leaders for a one-hour discussion; and also a free online resource of articles and videos geared towards that audience.
