EMBARK 2026
Playwrights - 1/31 is the deadline to apply for OCPA's 2026 EMBARK program, presented by OCPA at No Square Theatre in Laguna Beach! Got a great idea for a play? Pitch it, write it this spring and summer, and see it on its feet in front of an audience! Swipe through the image carousel to learn more!
The playwrights are selected in early March, meetings begin in late March, and staged readings of the newly written plays are presented in fall 2026 at No Square. Pretty great? Yes! We are taking submissions now.
Submission info? See the image carousel.
We thank Joe Lauderdale and the board of No Square Theatre for their support of our cohort - the only group of its kind of OC, led by OCPA playwright Baylee Shlichtman.
