Scratchpad Series

This program aims to address geographic and economic limitations for early-career playwrights from around the world. Scratchpad playwrights receive a week-long development workshop with top professional collaborators.

International writers are now also welcome to apply to Scratchpad!

All of Scratchpad International’s programming will exist virtually. While we do anticipate that much of next season’s Fellowship and Scratchpad USA programming may also exist virtually, we do hope to be able to meet in person if and when circumstances so allow.
