DESCRIPTION

Amoeba Productions is a nonprofit performing arts organization in NYC launching its inaugural cohort of creators for its 2025 Emerging Playwrights Lab. We are seeking four playwrights who have written a play in its early drafts. Maybe the work has been sitting in a folder waiting to be edited, or you just finished writing and you’re wondering what to do with it next. Over the course of three months, each playwright will have three cold readings performed by a community of actors. After each reading there will be structured discussion from a rotating board of theatre artists and their fellow lab members. Between each of their cold reads, the playwright will have a one on one meeting with the facilitator to set individual goals for their next reading. The lab will culminate in fifteen minutes of each play being presented at a festival of new works at a venue in manhattan with invited industry guests, friends, and fellow artists. Following the performances there will be food, drink, and an opportunity to connect with the audience about the work. Amoeba is excited to play, develop, and create a community of emerging playwrights.
