Description
ASSOCIATES PROGRAM APPLICATION OPEN
Calling experienced and mid-career writers with a specific project in mind that requires the long-term support of the Associates.
Playwrights Theatre Centre is searching for mid-career and established playwrights proposing their most ambitious work to date for our Associates program. The program is specifically pointed at work of a scale and depth that couldn’t be completed without PTC’s support.
The Associates is a three-year partnership, where each playwright works in collaboration with a dedicated dramaturg, as well as offering each other collegial insights and support. The unique length and depth of the program allows the playwright to manage the trajectory of their play with committed and long-term dramaturgical, administrative, and communication support from PTC.
The program also provides:
A $7,500 stipend, plus paid workshops and residencies; support with personal grant applications and funding strategy; assistance with development of community relationships, networks, and partnerships; a cohort of theatre makers developing their networks, creative practices, and projects in conversation with each other; a series of on-site residencies, to provide concentrated and undisturbed work time in a supported creative environment.
Other dramaturgical supports can include, but are not limited to: process design, digital and technical experience and support, and opportunities to present their work in progress in programs like Unscripted.
By the end of the third year, each of the Associates’ projects will have a production ready draft or project package, in partnership with their dramaturg and collaborating artists.
