My Nonprofit Reviews

I am writing in support of the Lark Play Development Center as a diverse resource for playwrights in the development of their career, craft, and plays. This past year, I was fortunate enough to be involved with the Lark’s development processes in several ways; The Monthly Meeting of the Minds, Roundtable, and the Winter Writers’ Retreat programs provide crucial opportunities for playwrights to not only move forward with their plays by leaps and bounds, but to do so with the encouraging support of fellow artists; which is especially important with work that is still raw and being discovered. The Lark has found a unique way of providing both continued artistic support for playwrights and connecting them to other theater artists at the same time. For every play that Lark has been a part of helping me develop this year, there are five or six connections I’ve made that will benefit my career. The Lark has become a place where both works-in-progress and relationships-in-progress meet. What has impressed me over the years is how the Lark’s programming continues to deepen and grow; as well the benefits for their community of playwrights continues to widen; each of their programs provides a very specific tool helpful to playwrights at various points in their process in writing, as well in their career.
