What this organization describes

Plays in process for a world in progress

The Lark is an international theater laboratory, based in New York City, dedicated to empowering playwrights by providing transformative support within a global community. We provide writers with money, space, collaborators, audiences, professional connections and the freedom to design their own processes of exploration. We believe that playwrights are society's truth tellers and their work strengthens our collective capacity to understand our world and imagine its future.
