...IN THE FUTURE OF THE AMERICAN THEATER!
The Inkwell is discovering the next generation of playwrights who are creating the most original, inventive, and thrilling plays. We're also building a community of playwrights, playmakers, and playgoers here in DC who are deeply invested in making new plays.
In the five short years that we've been around, here's what we've accomplished:
- We've made connections with more than 800 playwrights across the country through three open call for submissions.
- We’ve presented you — through FIRST CONTACT showcase readings, INKREADINGS, and INKUBATOR Productions — 86 entirely new plays that thrill, delight, amaze, and push the boundaries of theater.
- Five plays that we have discovered and developed have gone to world premieres across the country.
- We’ve brought together more than 350 of DC’s playmakers to work with us on new plays, providing these directors, dramaturgs, designers, and actors a unique opportunity in new play development.
AND THIS JUST IN...JASON GRAY PLATT'S new play CROWN OF SHADOWS, discovered and developed by The Inkwell, HAS BEEN NOMINATED FOR A HELEN HAYES AWARD FOR BEST NEW PLAY OF 2012!
