Exciting News! Team Awesome Robot is opening play submissions from March 1st to March 8th. We are searching for our next Showcase Production to be produced in the Fall of 2018.

Requirements: Full-length, original piece by a New York City-based playwright, who would be available for occasional rehearsal time. This should be the play's first full production in New York City, but previous readings and/or workshops are encouraged. The Production would be operating under the Equity Showcase Code, applying the travel stipend to all members of the production team's contracts.

To submit: Please send a cover letter introducing yourself with a synopsis of your play and a PDF of your full-length script to [email protected]. We will be accepting submissions until March 8, 2018 at 11:59 pm. After submissions have been read, we will extend interviews to the potential playwrights by the end of March 2018.

What a thrill to read this rave from New York Theater Review's Lisa Huberman.

"For a while, it seemed like Daniel John Kelley’s That True Phoenix would be simply a delightful, freewheeling 18th-century romp...And yet about halfway through the first act, we discover Kelley and director Christopher Diercksen are up to something a lot more interesting."

"...it is the resilience with which Da Ponte is able to weather a slew of financial, romantic, and professional disappointments is quite cathartic to anyone trying to cobble together a creative life"

[SPOILERS] Grateful to Times Square Chronicles (T2C) for this great review of That True Phoenix by Daniel John Kelley!

"That True Phoenix is witty and entertaining. Da Ponte’s story questions how we tell history, and demonstrates that if great people are overlooked others will find a way to tell their story."

We run until May 6th! Get your tickets now!
