HowlRound Theatre Commons is thrilled to share this list of plays by some of the writers in Cohort Three of the National Playwright Residency Program. Funded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and administered by HowlRound, the program provides three years of salary, benefits, and a flexible development fund for a diverse group of American playwrights at selected theaters around the country. More than a standard residency, this initiative is an intervention into the traditional relationships between artists and institutions, as a way of re-imagining what institutions might look like when an artist’s voice is at their cores.
