About the residency

The Eugene O'Neill Theater Center, founded in 1964 in Waterford, Connecticut, is a pioneering institution dedicated to the development of new works for the stage. Named after the American playwright Eugene O'Neill, it was established by a group of theater professionals who sought to create a haven where playwrights, composers, and librettists could develop their work free from commercial pressures. The O'Neill is renowned for its National Playwrights Conference, which has been instrumental in launching the careers of numerous acclaimed writers, and for its National Music Theater Conference, Puppetry Conference, and other programs that nurture emerging talent across theatrical disciplines. Its core mission is to discover, develop, and champion new voices in the American theater, fostering a process-oriented environment that prioritizes artistic risk and collaboration.

Planning your application

Artists should approach the O'Neill with a clear understanding that its conferences are developmental, not production-oriented. Submissions are typically accepted through open calls for the National Playwrights Conference and other programs, with deadlines announced on the website. It is crucial to submit work that is ready for a workshop process, as scripts are selected based on their potential for development rather than their polish. Applicants are advised to carefully follow submission guidelines, which often include specific formatting and eligibility requirements. The O'Neill values original voices and bold experimentation, so artists should present work that reflects their unique perspective and willingness to engage in collaborative revision.
