2017-18 Playwrights Horizons Theatrical Fellowship Program - Playwrights Horizons

The Playwrights Horizons Theatrical Fellowship Program offers excellent practical experience in training for a career in the arts and affords an opportunity to learn from some of the top professionals in the American theater. Because our fellows are fully integrated in the day-to-day life of the organization, a fellowship at Playwrights Horizons offers significantly marketable experience in one’s chosen field. We are proud of the fact that many alumni have gone on to become some of the most active directors, writers, composers, and arts administrators in the country.



Season-long fellowships are offered in:

Casting

Costumes

Directing

Digital Marketing

General Management

Literary Management

Marketing

Musical Theater

New Works Lab Management

Applications are currently being accepted for all 2017-18 season fellowships, which will run from September 2017 through the following spring or summer of 2018. Most fellowships are full-time: on average, Casting, Marketing, Literary, and New Works Lab Management fellows work five days per week during normal business hours (10 AM – 6 PM), as do our Costumes and Properties fellows. When involved with a show, Directing and Stage Management fellows work the six day rehearsal/performance schedule (Tuesday–Sunday). Fellowships in Digital Marketing, General Management, and Musical Theater are part-time; fellows in these departments work two or three days per week.



Compensation

Playwrights Horizons is pleased to offer a $40 daily stipend to help offset the cost of housing and other living expenses. All fellows also receive an unlimited monthly MetroCard.
