The historic Cherry Lane Theatre has partnered with Pulitzer Prize-winner Annie Baker (BFA '03) to launch the Cherry Lane Playwrights Collective. This nine-month developmental program offers a small cohort of rising playwrights a creative home to draft new full-length plays through rigorous feedback and in-person community. Applications are free and open to NYC-based writers who have not yet had a Broadway or Off-Broadway production.
Submissions Open: February 2 – March 2, 2026. Click here to learn more
