Playwrights on Park is an exciting artistic endeavor for Playhouse on Park. Their mission is to develop and produce original plays, to foster emerging and established playwrights, and to become a leader in new play development.

Playwrights selected as part of the Playwrights on Park Reading Series will have a day of rehearsal, followed by a reading of their play and a talkback with the audience. Submissions are open from February 1 - February 14, 2023.

Plays must be submitted before the February 14th deadline in order to be considered; no late submissions will be accepted. Five plays will be chosen for readings for the 2023/24 season. Final selections will be made by May 1st, 2023.
