This season SPACE plans to honor existing commitments to a cohort of over 40 artists who applied and were accepted, but whose residencies have had to be deferred primarily due to the pandemic.
The new musical ‘The Pursuit of Happiness (or The Wacky Lesbian Adventures of Brillo Pad and Hula Hoop)’ will headline the festival.
The award comes with a 9-month residency, housing, rehearsal space, a $20,000 stipend, and an $8,000 play development budget, and it culminates in a final showcase.
Lauren Mei, Zariyah Perry, and George Porteous have been recognized for their achievements in theatre.
Her 2022 play took home the $25,000 prize, while Madison Fiedler won the Osborn Prize and Suzan-Lori Parks and Rebecca Gilman received citations for their work.
The finalists are Aleshea Harris for ‘On Sugarland’ and Lloyd Suh for ‘The Far Country.’
The 12 teenage playwrights hail from 5 different states, and this year’s live presentations will be the first performed in person since 2019.
Six New York-based artists will receive micro-residencies in Mexico City, while a second cohort of Mexican creators will be selected in fall 2023 for residencies in New York City.
The new partnership will launch this summer with playwrights York Walker and Dave Harris.
