The 2024 program is led and produced by playwright and Theater Masters' Alumna Emily Zemba. Other members of the creative team include: Lulu Guzman: Associate Producer, Kat Sloan Garcia: Production Stage Manager, Stephen Cedars: Production Designer, Sujotta Pace, CSA: Casting Director, and Victoria Hansen: Theater Masters' Artistic Director
Each year, Theater Masters hosts a national 10-minute playwriting competition among MFA playwriting students: Take Ten. This year, out of 30+ submissions, 6 winning plays were selected by a reading panel of industry professionals. Once selected, the MFA playwrights are given feedback to further develop their plays, as well as time in a rehearsal room with a cast and new play director. The week culminates in a public reading presentation of their work.
In addition: A Concord Theatrical Company: Samuel French publishes an annual anthology of the winning plays from this National MFA Playwrights Festival.
