The Strides Collective, a Philadelphia nonprofit theatre that produces and develops work by emerging queer playwrights, is collecting Designers/Production Staff submissions to keep on file for future projects and collaborations.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a general interest form, not for a specific project. We will accept any and all submissions from Designers/Production Staff who live in or around the Philadelphia area who would like their information to be kept on file. We are unable to provide housing or transportation, so we are only seeking local applicants at this time. We provide a small stipend for artists at the completion of each project. Stipend size varies depending on scope of project (i.e. reading v. full production, etc.) ranging from $100-$500, we do not take on union artists based on quantity of stipends available. This form is not for playwright nor actor submissions, Strides will be releasing a separate submission form for those artists later this year.
ABOUT US: Founded in 2020, The Strides Collective produces and develops theatrical work by emerging playwrights that embraces the queer experience through authentic, modern, and innovative storytelling. Our work prioritizes the goal of normalizing the conversation about queer identity, creating a safe haven in which emerging artists can tell their stories without fear of judgment.
We have produced a world premiere queer play at a venue in Philadelphia, PA for the last three years. Venues have included Arden Theatre Company’s Studio Theatre and The Christ Church Neighborhood House. In addition to our productions, we produce a new play development program each year. Our playwrights and directors have gone on to work with such places as the National Theater Institute at The Eugene O’Neill Theater Center, Powerhouse Theater at Vassar College, The Dramatist Guild Foundation, and Primary Stages.
