TFA’s First Light Play Development Program

For Professional Playwrights

Theater of the First Amendment invites professional playwrights to submit a treatment, sample, or draft of any current project you would like us to consider for this intensive workshop. Also include a cover letter explaining your goals for developing the piece.

TFA’s 10th Annual First Light Discovery Program for professional playwrights will be held in June 2010. During the week prior to the event, the playwrights will work with directors, dramaturgs and actors to further develop their plays. Two to three plays will be presented to the public as staged readings.

Materials must be submitted to the TFA office by November 16, 2009. Playwrights will be contacted about the status of their submissions in early March 2010.
