“Writers in Performance is an opportunity to bring text to life—to find rhythm and meaning in voice and embodiment,” says Mario Giacalone, Director of the workshop.
The program creates a supportive and collaborative space where a diverse cohort of writers develops their material over the course of 11 weeks, culminating in a final performance open to the public in December. The result is a deeply engaging evening of theater that blends raw storytelling, polished performance, and the unique perspectives of each participant.
Auditions will take place in early September 2025. Interested writers should prepare a short piece of original writing (no more than 5 minutes in length) that they are passionate about developing for the stage. Mark your calendars: Auditions are September 15, 16 from 6:30PM to 8PM, by appointment only.
Please email mgiacalone@tribecapac.org between September 8th and 12th to schedule an appointment. The workshops are once a week, in the evenings, and performers also need to be available December 1 through 6 (production week).
BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center is located at 199 Chambers Street on the Borough of Manhattan Community College campus and is easily accessible via the 1/2/3, A/C/E, R, and PATH trains.
