Welcome, New Dramatists Resident Class of 2028!
We are excited to announce our next incoming class of resident playwrights, who will officially begin their seven-year residencies in the Fall of 2021: a huge congratulations to Jaclyn Backhaus, Eboni Booth, Agnes Borinsky, Julia Izumi, C. A. Johnson, Sam Max, and Charly Evon Simpson! We are absolutely thrilled to support these writers’ artistic process in the years to come.
New Dramatists Supports Black Lives Matter
Black Lives Matter. Truth Matters. Justice Matters. With anguish and rage, the playwrights, staff and board of New Dramatists stand strong with those in Minneapolis, New York, Louisville, and around the country seeking justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, Nina Pop, and now David McAtee, and the countless others who have lost their lives and have been victims of state sanctioned violence. It is our ethical and moral responsibility to demand justice for these deaths and other heinous acts of murder and violence against trans, black and brown people, and to actively participate in dismantling the systems of white supremacy, racism, division and inequity that make this violence common place and allow it to go unpunished.
A Letter to the Playwriting Community from the Residents of New Dramatists
The resident company of playwrights at New Dramatists share a statement with the broader community of playwrights in support of the decision to extend all residencies for current ND writers for a year and to adjust the current admissions timeline due to Covid-19.
