Because of the New Provincetown Player’s Playwrights’ Lab I’ve written and seen produced nine short plays as part of our Spring and Fall Playwrights’ Festivals. The “Lab” nurtured and guided my development of a full length play, A Yellow Light which was produced by the Provincetown Theatre Company and has had a professional reading in New York City. Thanks to the Lab feedback my short play, Point Clear, was selected as one of the finalists for the prestigious 2003 Actors Theater of Louisville Ten Minute Play Contest.

I’ve been a part of the New Provincetown Player’s Playwrights’ Lab for more than 7 years. Amazing support and connections have developed along the way to offset the doubt and frustrations inherent in bringing our plays from the page to the stage.

THE NEW PROVINCETOWN PLAYER’S PLAYWRIGHTS’ LAB
MEETS EVERY OTHER SUNDAY FROM 4-6PM
To join the Lab you must attend two consecutive lab meetings as an observer and join the New Provincetown Players as a member at whatever level you choose.
Playwrights bring work in progress to the lab where it is read by lab members and/or invited actors. The philosophy of the “Lab” mandates that all criticism be non-confrontational and constructive. The “Lab” is a safe environment for playwrights to concentrate on creating new work.
Playwrights from the lab, along with the general public are welcome to submit new, unprofessionally produced work as part of our Spring and Fall Playwrights’ Festivals. Check the submissions link in this menu for deadlines and calls for submissions.
Original full length plays selected for readings or as part of our bi-annual Playwrights’ Festivals are only accepted by current or recent alumni of the Playwrights’ Lab.
Original scripts without a production history are not accepted at this time as part of the New Provincetown Players non-festival season. Please do not submit original work for anything other than our new play festivals.
