PoNY (Playwrights of New York)
This program is currently on hiatus.
The Program
The PoNY (Playwrights of New York) Fellowship was founded by playwright Sandi Goff Farkas and The Lark, and was created to provide promising playwrights the financial freedom to hone their craft. The award includes one year of housing in a one-bedroom, doorman apartment in the heart of the theater district in New York City, a $2,500 per month stipend for 12 months, reimbursement for health insurance for three years, a $10,000 Rooted in NYC grant if the playwright elects to continue residency in New York, and a seat in The Lark’s Rita Goldberg Playwrights’ Workshop.
The Impact
The Selection Process
Fellows are selected annually through a national, nomination-based selection process. Candidates are invited to apply based on nominations solicited from a pool of over 100 nominators, including Artistic Directors, chairs of graduate playwriting programs, and other leaders in the field of new plays.
