Each year a call for submissions is announced. Literary Manager or use our e-mail address. Professional directors and dramaturgs are available to refine the work. Playwrights receive an honoraria plus loding and travel. Each residency concludes with a staged reading performed by a professional cast.
Residencies vary in design.
The basic model is to move from the Play Lab into a residency setting with a producing site. It is hoped that the residency will include a production by a partner theater, but a residency might also focus on research, dramaturgy or development of a specific aspect of a production, such as music or design. The festival is conceived as a bi-annual intersection of performance, practice and ideas. An Intersection of Performance, Practice and Ideas. Plays are not selected for their ability to tour, however it is hoped that at least one work will be suitable for that purpose.
