New Playwrights Cohort
The Village New Playwrights Cohort is a year-long developmental residency for multiple early-career playwrights to take their project to the next level. Over the course of a year, each member will develop one full-length play, culminating in a public reading with professional directors and actors. At monthly meetings to keep track of personal goals and deadlines, the cohort gathers for collaborative writing workshops, feedback sessions, and panel discussions with industry professionals.
