The inaugural Playwrights' Center Venturous List consists of 50 plays nominated by nationally prominent playwrights for the 2023–25 Venturous Playwright Fellowships, supported by the Venturous Theater Fund, a fund of the Tides Foundation. The fellowship supports playwrights in developing "venturous" plays—formally adventurous, epic in scope, and full of bold ideas. The list was widely shared with theater leaders across the country to encourage them to support venturous new theatrical work.
