BROADWAY BOUND
THEATRE FESTIVAL
WHERE PLAYWRIGHTS TAKE CENTER STAGE
OUR MISSION
BBTF is a developmental festival in the truest sense. Art is not a competition. We don't pit playwright-against-playwright. Rather, BBTF fosters an environment of support and friendship. Collaboration is one of our cornerstones. Playwrights become part of something much bigger than themselves and their plays. During the process, they're provided one-on-one dramaturgy, online workshops, roundtable talkbacks, full technical and FOH support, and insight into the ever-changing landscape of American theater--all while learning the business of self producing. The result is a constructive, encouraging environment and a creative community accepting of all, exclusive of none.
OUR SUBMISSION PROCESS
BBTF is one of the only fully curated festivals in New York City. Each script is considered with care and appreciation, undergoing a rigorous evaluation process in which structure, content and character development, as well as development potential are reviewed and discussed. All submissions receive a critique, regardless of acceptance. Participants commit to multiple rewrites of their work under dramaturgical direction and collaboration before production, ensuring the strongest iteration of their work is presented to the public at an affordable price.
"The Broadway Bound Theatre Festival has been helping playwrights develop their works since 2016."
