Soho Rep. Writer/Director Lab

William Burke & Jackie Sibblies Drury, Co-Chairs

The Soho Rep Writer/Director Lab was founded in 1998 to explore and develop the work of a new generation of theater artists and to foster new collaborations between writers and directors in the beginning stages of the creative process. Now, the Lab remains focused on this collaboration, inviting writer/director teams, of various backgrounds and experience, to apply with new and ambitious projects.

The festival, which receives more than 300 scripts annually, is committed to presenting the finest and most unique original short plays written by local playwrights from New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. The event also serves as an artistic fundraiser, with all proceeds going to SSP to help maintain its commitment to producing high-quality, extremely engaging theatrical experiences for our audiences.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

The Public Theater will select the strongest candidates based on the overall strength of the applicant’s play submission, artistic statement, and interview.

The Public will look for candidates from diverse backgrounds who show tremendous artistic promise and talent, as well as responsible and dedicated individuals who are serious about a career in the theater.

New Works of Merit Playwriting Contest is an international contest developed in 2003 to bring works of social significance to the attention of producers and artistic directors.  We understand how difficult it can be for playwrights to have their work read for possible production.  When plays are recognized by highly respected playwriting contests such as ours, from receiving Honorable Mention through Winning the contest, there is a greater chance to have the play read by producers and artistic directors.
