Fellows
Applications are now open for the next class of DGF Fellows!
The DGF Fellows program is a year-long New York City-based intensive for professional dramatists who are looking to develop their existing work at the next level of their careers. The Fellows program is a free program hosted by the Dramatists Guild Foundation, designed to eliminate historical barriers of entry for many emerging dramatists.
Fellows who are selected will receive a $5,000 scholarship, access to career resources, and the opportunity to partner with several arts organizations. Additionally, the program provides its Fellows with one-on-one mentoring from accomplished professionals in the field who help them hone their process, find their unique voice, and revise and edit existing work ready for development. At the end of the program, each Fellow will have an opportunity to participate in a presentation of their work for top theater professionals.
Please note: In keeping with our commitment of transparency and to execute our thorough review process, only the first 350 completed applications for the Playwriting Fellowship and the first 350 completed applications for the Musical Theater Fellowship will be considered. This allows our review committee to make a decision in the most timely manner. We look forward to reading your applications. Applications will be accepted until Friday, April 19 at 11:59PM or until we reach 350 complete submissions, whichever comes first.
