Heller Theatre Company, long committed to bringing compelling, provocative, and engaging original works to Tulsa, is seeking a Playwright-in-Residence for a two-year residency, spanning the 2019/20 and 2020/2021 seasons (July 2019 through June 2021). Applications will be accepted May 1 - May 31.
HTC recognizes that skilled playwrights already reside within Oklahoma and with the Playwright-in-Residence program, HTC continues to create an environment to uplift and embolden exciting new voices.
We are seeking a playwright who lives within Oklahoma to develop a full-length original play to be produced in our 2020/21 season. The playwright will also teach workshops on playwriting as part of our community outreach programs. As a benefit to the playwright, two play reading opportunities will be offered. There is a stipend attached to the playwriting residency.
To apply (May 1 - 31) send the following in .DOC or .PDF form to hellertheatre@gmail.com:
Submission of a complete work (either full-length, a one-act or two short plays)
Submission of a resume highlighting writing/teaching experience
Contact information.
After the initial submission period, the field will be narrowed to three candidates by selection of the HTC Board. The final three will be interviewed by a committee of the Board. The selected playwright will be announced by July 1, 2019.
