We are honored and proud to annouce that Taproot is a recipient of the 2026
NYSCA-A.R.T./New York Creative Opportunity Fund (A Statewide Theatre Regrant Program)!

Last year, the Creative Opportunity Fund made our NYC run of Without God As My Lover possible - we can’t wait to put it to good use again this year 🤩

Keep your eyes peeled for new Taproot happenings this year thanks to this generous grant!

We had a completely ✨magical✨ staged reading of Megan Medley’s new Cemetery Play at Bechdel Project a couple of weeks ago

The reading starred the amazing Anita Castillo-Halvorssen, Sarah Cuneo, and Gustavo Márquez with Gabriella O’Fallon reading stage directions.

Featuring live music composed and performed by on the double bass

A HUGE thank to Bechdel Project ( ) for making this possible with the space grant they offered us - your space and your generosity are both beautiful!

Keep your eyes peeled for further developments in this play’s future 🤩

The play follows three strangers supernaturally stuck in a cemetery together, investigating complicated questions of mortality, bodily autonomy, and the allegiance we owe to family.

Get ready to turn Sartre's 'hell is other people' on its head 💀

Last week and had the honor of sharing the stage with a group of incredible filmmakers after a screening of trailers and shorts. They talked about the development of Therapy Won’t Kill You, and many people were interested in the process of writing for multiple directors.

Thank you and .costantini.jacopo for hosting such a wonderful screening and networking event. Excited to attend more in the future, and hopefully have Taproot members participate in a Nostos writing retreat in Italy!

Thank you and for hosting such a lovely and intimate screening!!

Each of the projects were a delight to watch and learn more about in the Q+A. And we always appreciate the opportunity to talk about the work developed through Taproot and our collaborative ethos.

We will definitely be attending more of these showcases to meet and support the fabulous creatives in the NYC film community.
