Playwrights need Page 73.
Page 73 discovers the best new voices of the American theatre and gives them the support they need. The Campaign for Page 73 is raising $2 million to do what we do even better and continue to make a massive impact on the new canon of American theatre.
Playwrights need a launchpad.
For over twenty years we’ve honed our expertise in identifying and holistically supporting the most talented playwrights. We’re known as the go-to career launchpad for playwrights who go on to be defining voices in contemporary culture.
“Once Page 73 produced one of my plays, suddenly I wasn’t an unproduced playwright anymore—and that was a really big deal. This unspoken thing happened—suddenly it was OK to put my plays into full production.”
—SAMUEL D. HUNTER

Page 73 playwrights have gone on to win the Pulitzer Prize, the MacArthur “Genius” Grant, the Guggenheim Fellowship, Tow Foundation Playwright Residency, The New York Times Outstanding Playwright Award, as well as Tony nominations and wins at the Obie, Lortel, and Drama Desk Awards.
Playwrights need momentum.
We're strategically strengthening our organization to increase our impact on the talented playwrights who will need us for years to come. We are raising $2 million to support three funds.
New York Productions Fund
$1,100,000
We'll produce two full productions each season, independently. Our personal touch will best serve every Page 73 playwright while heightening our visibility in the field.
Amplified Capacity Fund
$400,000
We're building a mature artistic and administrative staff capacity to robustly support our playwrights’ work.
Strategic Reserve Fund
$500,000
With Board-managed funds on reserve, we will have the rare flexibility to take advantage of opportunities for the organization and our playwrights as they arise.
Playwrights need us.
Together, we can ensure that Page 73 will be there for talented early-career playwrights for years to come.
