greater support to the region’s playwright community and to nurture active artists. Up to two residencies may be awarded in 2015, which includes a $2,000 stipend for the playwright, development support and a workshop production. Please note that CPT is investing
over $15,000 in staff time, support and direct costs associated with the residency.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Based on writing samples and one complete play, we will select a playwright with extraordinary potential. This resident artist will be given space at the theatre to
write, create and rehearse work. Additionally, the program provides access to CPT’s artistic staff and is eligible for the theatre’s development programming. The residency is also an opportunity to be on site at CPT over the course of the year, interacting
with and learning from designers, actors, directors and other writers. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We are not looking for the most accomplished playwright, rather an early-career playwright, someone who has demonstrated ability and extraordinary potential, but is
still defining their voice as a playwright. This program is open to playwrights who work in a variety of processes including directing/devising playwrights and conventional writers of scripts.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We want to have the largest impact on the community as possible, so we are looking for a playwright who is at the “right time” in his/her growth to most benefit from
the residency. We are looking for someone who is hungry for experiences as a playwright and also is enthusiastic about being an active member of our community at CPT.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Applications will be reviewed by CPT’s artistic staff and collaborators. The first round of reading will be facilitated blind – without applicants’ names. During round
one, only “Writing Sample A” will be read. This sample must include a script and should be the applicant’s best and most complete work. For playwrights whose work extends beyond the page, video samples will be allowed in addition to the script.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Rounds two and three will be conducted with the applicant’s name attached. “Writing Sample B”, will be reviewed by the panel if selected to move on to rounds two and
three. Interviews will be held with the finalists.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
