Ingram New Works Project

The Ingram New Works Project empowers exceptional new voices to write the stories they are most passionate about. Nashville Rep's Ingram New Works Project provides playwrights with season-long developmental support, travel, lodging, hospitality, networking, and audiences, allowing them to focus on what they do best: creating powerful, necessary, impactful new plays. The three pieces of the Project are the Lab, Fellowship, and a series of public readings. Since 2009, the Ingram New Works Project has supported the development of over 60 new plays. We are the playwrights’ home away from home, powered by Nashville’s authentic and radical hospitality.
