Submit: IAMA Emerging Playwrights Lab: Deadline July 31
WHAT IS THE LAB?
The IAMA EMERGING PLAYWRIGHTS LAB is an artistic home for early-career and emerging Los Angeles-based playwrights. Over the course of this one-year residency, the writers will meet on a monthly basis, to share and develop a new full-length play in a peer-guided format. Members of the Lab will also be given dramaturgical support from the Artistic and Literary staff at IAMA, as well as a ticket to each of IAMA's mainstage productions. The Lab will culminate in readings of each member's full length plays in a potentially public format in the summer of 2027.
