Theatrical Fellowship Program - Playwrights Horizons

"I can point to my time at Playwrights Horizons as the critical step in my career as a playwright, artistically and professionally." - Sarah Delappe, Literary Fellow 2012-2013, Playwright: The Wolves (2017 Pulitzer Prize Finalist for Drama)



The Playwrights Horizons Theatrical Fellowship Program offers excellent practical experience in training for a career in the arts and affords an opportunity to learn from some of the top professionals in the American theater. Fellowships are offered in:

- Directing

- Stage Management

- Costumes

- Casting

- Literary Management

- New Works Lab Management

- Musical Theater

- Marketing

- Digital Media



Fellowships will begin in either August or September of 2018 and continue through the production season, concluding in June of 2019.



Because our fellows are fully integrated in the day-to-day life of the organization, a fellowship at Playwrights Horizons offers significantly marketable experience in one’s chosen field. We are proud of the fact that many alumni have gone on to become some of the most active directors, writers, composers, and arts administrators in the country. In addition, many current staff members are former fellows, including our artistic director, Tim Sanford.
