The National Playwrights Conference, which will celebrate fifty years of
new play development during the summer of 2014, is led by Artistic
Director Wendy C. Goldberg. The conference supports playwrights during
the creation and development of new plays. The O'Neill receives
approximately 1,000 scripts for consideration and in each of the past
three years, seven of the developed works were discovered through the
open submission process. Submissions are sent to readers across the
country and read blindly, allowing volunteer readers to focus on each
writer’s voice and story, rather than a recognizable name or previous
accomplishment.<br>
