We hope these profiles will provide insight into each theatre's reasons for developing and/or producing a particular new play. Information is available online for the 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 Round 1 and Round 2, and 2012 Round 1 Edgerton Foundation grantees.

The plays in this section are funded by the Edgerton Foundation New American Play Awards. Piloted in 2006 with the Center Theatre Group in Los Angeles, The Edgerton Foundation gives plays in development extended rehearsal period for the entire creative team, including the playwrights.

The Edgerton Foundation New American Plays Program launched nationally in 2007 and has awarded grants to non-profit theatres for 150 new plays to date. Forty three plays have gone on or been scheduled to have subsequent productions following their world premieres.

Theatres with a strong and consistent track record of producing new work are invited to submit letters of inquiry to plays@edgertonfoundation.org. A panel of readers reviews the plays and one-time grants (ranging from $5,000 - $75,000) are awarded.
