Meet the 2020 Page 73 Playwriting Fellow

We are thrilled to announce our 2020 Page 73 Playwriting Fellow!

EMMA GOIDEL

We are proud to name Emma Goidel the 2020 Page 73 Playwriting Fellow. Goidel will receive a $10,000 award and an additional $10,000 budgeted for developing several new plays over the course of the year.

From Artistic Director Michael Walkup:
"I'm thrilled that Emma Goidel joins us as the 17th Fellow at Page 73. Emma's work celebrates women, family, and queerness. She hones her artistry through frequent collaboration with fellow artists and completes each script with a precise language that is distinctly her own. Emma joins Page 73 at an exciting moment of artistic exploration and a time when she's ready for broader professional attention, and I'm confident that our Fellowship will help her make the most of this year."

EMMA GOIDEL’s plays include The Gap (Barrymore Award, Kilroys List 2019), A Knee That Can Bend (Nominee, ATCA/Steinberg Award & Lanford Wilson Award), Local Girls (Finalist, Princess Grace Award), and We Can All Agree To Pretend This Never Happened (EST, Òran Mór, Tiny Dynamite/InterAct). Her work has been presented by Ars Nova, Clubbed Thumb, InterAct, LAByrinth, Playwrights Realm, Playwrights’ Center, NYSAF, and PlayPenn’s the Foundry. She is a co-founder of Orbiter 3, and a Kilroy.

Emma was selected via Page 73’s annual Development Programs Application. We received over 400 applications in 2019. The free, online application for our 2021 programs is now live. Page 73 partners with Beehive Dramaturgy Studio on our annual selection process. Beehive selects and manages the talented, paid industry evaluators who help Page 73 read the early rounds of our application process each year.

We also want to congratulate the three immensely talented finalists for the 2020 Fellowship: Bleu Beckford-Burrell, Vichet Chum, and juliany taveras.
