The Larking House
COLLABORATE
We will pair you up with an extraordinary emerging director and actors who will help you bring the words on your pages to life.
Over the course of this week-long intensive program, four playwrights will have the opportunity to work digitally with a specially curated team of artists, make edits, add pages, etc. before your final reading at the end of the week.
PRESENT
After workshopping your piece throughout the week, our Zoom-based playwrights will have the time to present a final reading over Zoom to the company and a panel of industry professionals.
Share your story!
GROW
At the end of your reading, there will be time for you to receive feedback on the play from the company and professionals who tune in.
Be confident in your artistic voice and the stories you want to share with the world. We can't wait for you to come showcase your talent and grow with us!
IN-PERSON
OPPORTUNITIES
In order to deepen our connection with our local community, we are giving two Southern California-based playwrights the opportunity to join our team for a fully in-person intensive experience here in Anaheim, CA.
A live staged reading of the piece will be held at the end of the process accompanied by a structured feedback session with hand selected industry professionals.

THANK YOU TO ALL PLAYWRIGHTS
WHO SUBMITTED TO OUR 2024 INTENSIVES!
This year, we received an unprecedented amount of submissions, over 700 brand new unpublished never produced plays.
It goes without saying that this program would not be able to happen without the overwhelming support of the playwrights who submit to us year after year. The hard part begins, as we must select less than 1% of these plays to be developed within our program.
Your patience as our amazing team of resident artists reads through this astonishing collection is appreciated.
If you see value in the work that we do here at The Larking House and would like to see us continue to expand our programming for new plays, please consider donating to our efforts:
