Page 73 Playwriting Fellowship
“Although the Fellowship only lasts a year, it’s not just about the one year. It’s about how this year can set you up for all the years ahead, for your body of work, for who you are as an artist now and who you’re interested in becoming."
Sanaz Toosi, 2019 Page 73 Fellow, 2023 Pulitzer Prize Winner for Drama
The Page 73 Playwriting Fellowship provides a year of comprehensive support to one early-career playwright who has not received a professional production in New York City. Through this program, Page 73 provides artistic and financial resources to this writer as they develop one or more new plays of their choosing. The Playwriting Fellow receives an unrestricted award of $20,000 and a development budget, managed by Page 73 and the Fellow over the course of the Fellowship year, up to an additional $10,000.
