As part of our mission to foster the next generation of theatre goers and artists, the S&S is pleased to announce the S&S Emerging Playwrights Fellowship. 

We wish to address the lack of representation for underrepresented communities, both on the page and on the stage. To help close this gap, we are seeking to support a LGBTQIA+ playwright. We seek playwrights who wish to write emotionally resonant stories for audiences of all ages.

● Receive a $2,500 Honorarium 

● Have a four month residency 

● Write for all ages

Speak to your interest and/ or experience with playwriting, how you would like this program to support you on your artistic journey and your goals for this fellowship. Tell us about your project and how you plan to appeal to young audiences and their adults. What do you want to write during your time with the S&S?
