The Inkwell seeks new work by emerging playwrights!
Learn more about submission process and requirements here. The Inkwell seeks full-length, un-produced plays for our 2009 Inkubator Festival. The Inkwell partners with American playwrights who seek a sustained and open collaboration with The Inkwell's playmakers, playgoers and playwrights; who create impossible worlds that push past the boundaries of Theatre As We Know It; who spin yarns in their own way, without regard to what is popular, producible or profitable. The Inkwell produces new theatrical works that pulse with a unique internal and vital rhythm - a heartbeat driven by twists and trysts between words, sentences, conversations; that demand imaginative complicity and erupt into spectacle; that explode viscerally and psychologically off the page. The Inkwell supports selected playwrights throughout a full developmental process, with dramaturgical partnership, educational opportunities, mentorship connections, staged readings, and workshops, with the goal of a fully-staged Inkubator production. The Inkwell encourages playwrights to participate as fully as possible in all areas of the process - from design meetings to rehearsals to audience engagement - to develop their work in a fully-integrated forum rarely available to emerging writers Click here to learn more! |
