INGENIO Milagro is a play, and playwright, development program that serves as an intrinsic step in the creation of new full-length theatrical works by Latina/o-identified playwrights. Rehearsals, workshops, concert-style readings, and feedback sessions guide them and their works from concept to production. Directors, designers, and actors bring the plays to life for an audience of theatre professionals and members of the public. Readings are followed by a moderated feedback conversation. Playwrights choose their level of involvement from rehearsal to presentation to feedback conversation, remotely and/or in person.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Submissions are being accepted for INGENIO Milagro 2018, to take place September 17 – 23, 2018.

Please note: there are no travel stipends at this time.
