Calling all small-to-midsize Los Angeles theatre makers! Applications are being accepted now. Deadline: June 1, 2024: https://lanpp.org/grant-guidelines-and-application/
LA NEW PLAY PROJECT's two-tiered grant program offers $20,000 grants to playwrights for new, unproduced plays, with an additional $20,000 to producers to help support the play's world premiere production.
The funding is intended to award excellence in playwriting, encourage the production of new and untried plays on the smaller stages of Los Angeles, and help stabilize theatrical productions that originate here but that may resonate beyond the borders of Los Angeles County.
Producers in partnership with playwrights are invited to submit new scripts that are under consideration for production. A distinguished peer panel selects one-to-three projects for the award.
