Now in its 6th year, the Playwrights of New York (PoNY) Fellowship was founded by playwright Sandi Goff Farkas and the Lark Play Development Center, and was created to provide promising emerging playwrights with the financial freedom to hone their craft.
Congratulations to Kimber Lee, our 2013 PoNY Fellowship Winner! Kimber's plays have been produced and developed by the Dramatists Guild Fellows Program, Southern Rep, and The Playwrights’ Center in Minneapolis, where she was a Core Apprentice. We can't wait to see what she writes during her Fellowship year! CLICK HERE to read her full bio.
Dominique is a playwright, poet, and actress hailing from Detroit and currently living in the PoNY apartment. Dominique's work is debuting during her fellowship year at The Public Theater, Classical Theatre of Harlem and in London.
After the Fellowship year, PONY 2.0 provides ongoing professional support with the mission to provide artistic homes and professional development opportunities for PoNY Playwrights.
