Work With Us
Neurodivergent Plays is always looking to collaborate with new artists. Scroll down to learn more about current opportunities, and check back frequently for updates.
Playwriting Opportunities
Neurodivergent Plays has re-opened submissions for full-length plays for openly neurodivergent playwrights interested in submitting for future performances!
All submissions should be for full-length plays between 45 to 180 minutes long and may have received a previous reading or production outside of NYC, as long as they are unpublished. Plays can be of any genre, although we are especially seeking works that challenge traditional methods of storytelling & have something important to say about the world that isn’t being heard enough.
All playwrights who submit MUST openly identify as neurodivergent/disabled. (i.e. autistic, ADHD, OCD, dyslexia, Tourette’s, etc.) Playwrights at all stages of their careers are encouraged to apply - especially BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and female-identifying writers. There is no submission fee or any other fee for being involved in this process, and all selected playwrights will receive a modest stipend.
We kindly ask that you submit only one play every 30 days during our recurring submissions process. If one of our Resident Directors is interested in your work, we will reach out via email.
Submit your work today by visiting the link in our Instagram bio, or going to https://form.jotform.com/223378604825057
Directing Opportunities
Neurodivergent Plays is now accepting applicants for directors interested in directing new play readings, as part of our planned 2026-27 Season!
This application season, we will select up to 4 new directors to direct one initial staged reading, beginning with our 2026-27 Season. Selected directors will also be invited to be part of our Resident Director Company, and to direct plays on available performance slots subject to availability. We are a company for neurodiverse audiences, by neurodivergent artists, and as we continue to expand, we strive to be a long-term home for neurodivergent writers and directors alike.
Each director who is selected will have access to all our recent play submissions, and will be given freedom over individual play selections. Each director will also be provided with up to 29 hours of in-person rehearsal time provided by the company. Modest stipends are available for directors for each staged reading.
Ideal applicants should have a passion for new play development, social justice & experimentation in theatre, and most of all, empowering neurodivergent artists. Priority consideration will be given to directors who identify as neurodivergent and/or disabled. (i.e. autism, adhd, ocd, tourette’s, dyslexia, etc.) BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and international (non-U.S. origin) directors are encouraged to apply, as we seek to foster an artistic space that represents all neurodivergent artists.
Applicants may send their resume, portfolio and/or cover letter to neurodivergentplays@gmail.com under the subject line “Resident Director Applicant” by January 15th. Select applicants will be invited to participate in interviews in February 2026.
