What is the Theatre Writers Digest?

Sair here!

If you write for the theatre, you’ve probably missed a fellowship or a grant that you were PERFECT for. There’s no worse feeling than finding out the day after a deadline. That’s why I spend hours collecting and cataloguing opportunities for writers, with a focus on musical theatre writers and songwriters. This started out of a desire to apply for every possible opportunity, but soon I found myself discovering applications and going “Oh, I know who’s perfect for this...”

As a writer myself - an alum of the BMI Workshop, various ASCAP residencies, and a plethora of other programs - I know how many fabulously talented writers are out there. Fact is, not everyone has the time to do this kind of in-depth research every month, so I wanted to create a place to share it with my community.

Why a paid subscription?

The monthly digest is free and contains all the highlights. However, it does not cover everything I find in my monthly deep search. If the digest contains 10-15 listings, the long list probably has over 50. This comprehensive list and the subscription at large could be useful to you if:

  • You are a completionist at heart (same)

  • You are looking to fund a specific or niche project

  • You want to expand your professional network

  • You want access to the archives

  • You want to support new work!

100% of your subscription goes to support the production of new work!

And I mean that literally! Your subscription fee goes directly into my production company, and from there gets distributed to cast, crew, and collaborators on our original work, such as our flagship project The Reality Shaper.

If you do join: THANK YOU for giving back to the community. (:
