My play, “Brad Pitt’s My Bitch”, is a semi-finalist for the 2025 National Playwrights Conference! This year, the O’Neill received over 1600 submissions from which they select 15% to advance to the Semi-Finalist round.
The Launchpad of American Theater, the O’Neill is the country’s preeminent organization dedicated to the development of new works and new voices for the stage. Founded in 1964, the O'Neill has launched some of the most important voices and works in American theater and has revolutionized the way new work is developed.
The O’Neill has been home to more than 1,000 new works for the stage and thousands more emerging artists. Writers, directors, puppeteers, singers, students, and audiences alike take their first steps in exploring, revising, and understanding their work and the potential of the theater they help create. All focus remains on the writer and script: Performers work with simply rendered sets and costumes, script in hand, revealing for the first time the magic of a new play or musical, puppetry piece, or cabaret act.
Scores of projects developed at the O’Neill have gone on to full production at theaters around the world. Work first performed at the O'Neill has gone on to regional theaters, Broadway, film, and television. Students and professionals who have honed their skills at the O'Neill can be seen in these venues every day across the nation and world.
