The Growing Together Playwriting Initiative is a collaboration with the Atlanta Regional Commission.
Our goal is to amplify the lived experiences of people with disabilities through community-based storytelling and theatre.
Over the course of Fall 2025, playwrights, actors, and community members with disabilities will work together to create short plays inspired by real stories — culminating in a public presentation in December 2025.
HOW IT WORKS
🎭 Playwrights
Selected playwrights will write original short scenes inspired by authentic community stories.
Selected playwrights will receive a $250 stipend and collaborate throughout November 2025, with weekly virtual meetings.
💬 Interviewees
Share your lived experiences with our creative team.
Your stories will serve as the foundation for new theatrical, celebrating the diversity and resilience of Atlanta’s disability community.
🎬 Actors
Bring these stories to life on stage during our December 2025 presentation.
We welcome performers of all backgrounds and abilities to help us share these voices with authenticity and care.
