The Lark and Venturous Theater Fund of the Tides Foundation are thrilled to announce that the plays and playwrights selected for the third round of The Lark Venturous Playwright Fellowship program are The Sensational Sea Mink-ettes by Vivian Barnes, Eternal Life, Part I by Nathan Alan Davis, and THE WOODS. by Jahna Ferron-Smith. This Fellowship supports the advancement of ambitious, risk-taking, and innovative plays, by providing concurrent residencies for their authors, and advocating for their production at partner theaters.
Fellows each receive an award of $50,000 over two years, as well as a Production Subsidy Grant of up to $50,000 to support a production of the play at a theater of the playwright's choosing. Throughout their two-year fellowships, the playwrights will be in residence at The Lark where they will have access to individually-tailored new play development and advocacy resources, including readings, workshops, retreats, mentorship, and community building activities, designed to nurture their writing and advance their work into the repertoire.
