Announcement & Pool Requirements
The 2011-12 PlayGround Writers Pool of thirty-six emerging professional playwrights was announced at the PlayGround Season Kick-Off on Sunday, September 25, 2011. Selected writers commit to submitting for at least four of the six Monday Night PlayGrounds in any season. The submission of a script to Monday Night PlayGround grants PlayGround the exclusive option to stage the play as part of the Monday Night PlayGround and, should it be so selected, to present the world premiere as part of The Best of PlayGround Festival and publish the script in the "Best of PlayGround" anthology. Upon publication, PlayGround serves as the exclusive licensor for English language stock and amateur rights in the U.S. and Canada.
