Like its namesake this program was created to provide support to emerging playwrights. Resident playwrights receive a modest stipend and work with the Artistic Director to craft a “playwright’s choice” year-long residency. Founded in the belief that writers know best what their work needs to advance to the next level, the residency gives playwrights a menu of options to choose from including access to studio space, collaborations with Harold Clurman Lab Theater Company actors and directors for readings and workshops and more. The Harold Clurman Lab Theater has presented new plays by the playwright in residence in multiple recent seasons.
