Circle X Theatre Co. Announces Evolving Playwrights Group
Circle X Theatre Co. invites Los Angeles-based playwrights to apply to our emerging and mid-career writers' group. We seek writers who align with a shifting professional identity-that is, artists whose careers are on their way to becoming what they seek to be. We encourage playwrights to pitch the 'play they are scared to write,' the play that has been sitting in their imagination for some time or has come about in this moment of stillness and for whatever reason-impossibility of language, form, or subject-has not been written.
