Finishing Commissions

Finishing Commissions

Until 2025, our Finishing Commissions program funded theaters that offer writers finishing commissions for venturous plays, along with support for workshops or other production-oriented play development processes. This program targeted unproduced plays that have already been commissioned, either by the commissioning theater or by another theater. 

Recent finishing commissions grants include:

• Mix-Mix by Boni B. Alvarez
  Playwrights’ Arena, Los Angeles, CA
• Killing Fidel by Hannah Benitez
  Miami New Drama, Miami Beach, FL
• Grief Hotel by Liza Birkenmeier
  Clubbed Thumb, New York, NY
• minor.ity by Francisca Da Silveira
  Colt Coeur, New York, NY
• The Beastiary by Christopher Ford & Dakota Rose
  Ars Nova, New York, NY
• Red Hook History Project (working title) created by Sarah Gancher (writer) and Jared Mezzochi (director).
  Vineyard Theatre and En Garde Arts, New York, NY
• Edi Ya & Diamond’s Grove by a.k. payne

  Central Square Theater, Cambridge, MA

The program was discontinued at the end of 2025.
