THE LOUD KARMA EMERGING WOMEN AND GENDER-DIVERSE PLAYWRIGHTS AWARD

Loud Karma Productions was created because women and nonbinary playwrights deserve to have their voices heard. We are dedicated to producing works of emerging and marginalized artists who find themselves overlooked for reasons that have nothing to do with their talent. Our mission is to support emerging women artists and artists of any gender who are marginalized because of age, disability, gender, or ethnicity. We support the LGBTQ+ community, POC, and are an ally business.

It is no secret that female and gender diverse playwrights are underrepresented in theatres across the US and internationally. In a study released by the AAPAC, in a recent Broadway season, 86 percent of the produced playwrights were white males. Women and nonbinary voices are woefully underrepresented in spite of the amazing, groundbreaking, and vital work they are creating. 

Please fill out the following application and then send a copy of your play or musical book to Loud Karma Productions at loudkarmaproductions@gmail.com. Please send your script only as a PDF file. We don't prefer a tech script. (But we will take a tech script if you feel it's necessary or that's all you have.)

Please refer to the description of the award on the Hollywood Fringe site for more details if needed.
