About Unearth

  • Development readings of new original works allow playwrights to unearth new ideas, perspectives, and interpretations from the feedback of peers

  • Communal connection and common goals are established from the get-go in these invite-only rooms, and writers can use this larger group response to propel themselves forward in their writing process

  • This is a free offering for playwrights, and aims to support artists from all walks of life (particularly queer and trans artists), with Forager providing the organizational support, personnel network, and planning

  • We plan to create a workshop series dedicated to those experimenting with form

  • Since 2022, we have hosted the new works of eight playwrights with four of those plays going on to have fully realized productions in NYC, including two with Forager’s Harvest branch

After 3 years of operating Unearth on a rolling basis we are trying something new!! There will now be 4 seasons of Unearth per year each with their own submission form! This will allow our team to review submissions in a more timely and efficient manner! 

Winter Unearth submissions are now open and will close February 8th! 

If you have submitted to us in the past and are still interested in Unearth - please submit!
