Page 73 Productions is now accepting applications for the 2008 P73 Playwriting Fellowship. Applications are due on May 1, 2007! For more information and to download an application, visit: http://www.p73.org.
The P73 Playwriting Fellowship provides year-long comprehensive support to one early-career playwright who has received neither wide public recognition nor substantial production opportunities in New York City. Through this program, Page 73 provides artistic and financial resources to one emerging playwright as he or she develops a new play that has not received substantial prior development support. The P73 Fellowship is best suited to writers who have concrete and reasonable goals that can be achieved through the resources provided by Page 73. These goals may include, but are not limited to, specific artistic objectives that relate to the development of a new play and assistance in building relationships within the New York City theater community. Please note that funds from the P73 Playwriting Fellowship do not cover full-scale productions under an Actors' Equity Showcase Contract, LOA or an Actors' Equity Mini-Contract.
At the start of his or her fellowship year, the fellow either must have clearly articulated a proposed project in his or her application or must have provided the first few pages of the new play. During the fellowship year, the fellow receives a cash stipend of $2,000; additional. Additional funds of $8,000 are ear-marked to cover expenses for the grantee's research, workshop and reading presentations and ; such additional funds are used for fees for collaborating artists. The fellowship year includes at least one public presentation of the new play. Page 73 also supports the writer by helping the fellow identify collaborators, such as directors, designers, actors and dramaturgs, for the project.
The 2008 P73 Playwriting Fellow will be associated with Page 73 from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008. After being selected, he or she will work with Page 73's producing directors to develop a plan for the year and establish a timeline for the development and production work to be done on the new play. The fellow is expected to be present in New York City from time to time to fully engage in the opportunities that the fellowship provides.
Past fellows include Kirsten Greenidge, Quiara AlegrÃa Hudes and Jason Grote. The 2007 P73 Playwriting Fellow is Krista Knight.
The P73 Playwriting Fellowship is made possible by gifts from Joseph and Carson Gleberman, Joanne Jacobson, and the Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust. Page 73 is extremely grateful for their generous support.

Since 1997, Page 73 Productions has been seeking, developing and producing the work of emerging playwrights who have received neither wide public recognition nor substantial production opportunities in
New York City
. In 2003, Page 73 Productions established its signature program, the P73 Playwriting Fellowship, which is one of a handful of programs in the
United States
that provides direct cash support exclusively to emerging playwrights, and includes a year of career and artistic development support. Page 73 also produces one full-scale production annually and provides other developmental opportunities to a handful of playwrights each year. Later this year, Page 73 will produce 1001 by Jason Grote (the 2006 P73 Playwriting Fellow) as its 2007 production. For more information visit www.p73.org.
