"We are currently in rehearsal for the premiere of Fetch Clay, Make Man by Will Power, in which the additional rehearsal time with all of the key creators at the table (playwright, director, actors, etc.) is already proving to be invaluable," Mann continued. "The work is thrilling. As with The Brother/Sister Plays, The Edgerton Foundation's commitment to providing time for in-depth rehearsal makes it more likely that a first production can realize its potential."
Selected theatres with a strong and consistent track record of producing new work are invited by the foundation to submit letters of inquiry to the Foundation: plays@edgertonfoundation.org. A panel of readers reviews the plays, and one-time grants (ranging from $5,000 - $75,000) are awarded. To date, 73 Edgerton Foundation New American Play Awards have been granted and 34 plays have gone on to further professional productions.
These subsequent productions have been performed and/or are scheduled for performances across the country and the globe in almost thirty regional companies, five repertory companies, and an international festival in Ireland. Six have made it to Broadway including Curtains, 13, Next To Normal, 33 Variations, In the Next Room (or the vibrator play), and Time Stands Still. Four others have had off Broadway productions of plays first staged in regional theatres: Back, Back, Back, Equivocation, Restoration, and The Brother/Sister Plays.
More information on each of the plays can be found on the TCG website: http://www.tcg.org/tools/newplays/index.cfm
The following thirty-four Edgerton Foundation New Play Award recipients have gone on or been scheduled to have subsequent productions following their world premiere productions:
