PlayGround-Chicago

The mission of PlayGround-Chicago is to support the development of new local voices for the theatre, with a core commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. PlayGround-Chicago is Chicago’s newest playwright incubator, providing unique opportunities for the cultivation and development of early-career local playwrights and partnerships with leading professional directors, actors and theatres. Through the development of original short and full-length plays, PlayGround creates a microcosm of the greater theatre scene, supporting emerging playwrights’ experimentation and risk-taking, while helping them to hone their style and technique.
