Overview
Art House Productions is a performing and visual arts center established in 2001 and located in Jersey City, NJ. Art House is a home for adventurous artists, audiences, and ideas. We engage, inspire, entertain, and challenge audiences with ambitious performing and visual arts programs. We provide arts education programs that promote life-long learning to a diverse community and celebrate the essential power of the arts to illuminate our common humanity.INKubator is an eight-month generative playwriting process for a select group of playwrights-in-residence in Jersey City, culminating in the annual INKubator New Play Festival in May. Playwrights will meet as a group and in-person monthly from October 2024 to May 2025 alongside program director Alex Tobey to share new pages, receive feedback, and develop the first draft of a brand new play. At the end of the process in May, each writer will team up with a professional director and actors to present a public staged reading as a part of the annual INKubator New Play Festival.Applications are open to playwrights who can commit to the program's monthly meetings and festival dates, and have a pitch for a play they are passionate about writing and developing with Art House Productions in Jersey City over an eight-month process. While New Jersey residency is not a requirement for INKubator, we are seeking playwrights with a
strong
association to New Jersey. We hope the plays created will be inspired by New Jersey and all its glory, warts and all.What do we mean by association? Have you……ever lived in New Jersey?…gone to school in New Jersey?…worked in New Jersey?…visited the Jersey Shore or somewhere else?…family in New Jersey?…any connection at all to New Jersey?Great! We'd love to hear about it.At its essence, INKubator supports playwrights and the plays they are creating at their
earliest stage of development
while also creating opportunities for long-term artistic relationships with Art House and the Art House community.Current benefits for INKubator writers include:$150 stipendOne-day rehearsal and public performance of the first draft of their play in May 2025 as part of INKubator New Play FestivalPromotional and marketing support for the playwright and their new playFree admission to performances, mixers, and other events at Art House Productions throughout the yearThe ability to schedule time at the theatre for any meetings, rehearsals, and readings as needed for freeCommissions

Putting the "Play" Back in Playwriting
series of workshops)Details:You must be able to commit to all the monthly in-person meetings at Art House Productions on the evenings of October 7, November 4, December 2, January 6, February 3, March 3, and April 7.It's okay if the play you pitch already has
some
pages written, but the collective goal of the residency should be to complete a first draft. If you already have a majority of the play written, all of the answers figured out, or even a completed first draft, we would recommend applying with a play that is much earlier in its development process.The INKubator New Play Festival is tentatively scheduled for May 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, and 14, 2025. Please hold these dates in your calendar, as we encourage writers to attend the entire festival and properly support the work of their cohort.Art House Productions is committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion and encourages playwrights of all backgrounds, ages, and experience levels to apply.There is a $15 fee to apply which goes to support producing the INKubator New Play Festival. The deadline to submit is Tuesday, September 3 at 5:00PM ET. All applicants will be notified of their status by the end of September.Submissions will be evaluated by Executive Artistic Director Meredith Burns, INKubator alumni Upasna Barath and Amanda Sage Comerford, and INKubator Resident Director Alex Tobey.
