SUN VALLEY PLAYWRIGHT’S RESIDENCY

SMALL TOWN. BIG PLAYS.
BE A PART OF IT.

Because of the generosity of our supporters and our unique partnership with The Community Library and The Argyros, in 2023 we were able to offer Pulitzer Prize Winner Martyna Majok and Pulitzer Prize Finalist Rajiv Joseph the time, space, and creative resources to step away from the frenetic pace of daily life. By immersing themselves in the nourishing quiet of our small mountain town, Martyna and Rajiv were able to explore and create their next big plays.

It’s because of the generosity of our supporters we were able to offer free programming that brought extraordinary artists into conversation with our community—carving out a space to dialogue about art, ourselves, and the world—which is more important now than ever.
