EMBARK 2026

EMBARK 2026 is off and running! Meet the playwrights of the 2026 cohort - Gabby Chavez, Sarah Lina Sparks, and Maviene Tran!

This spring and summer, Gabby, Sarah and Maviene will concoct brand new plays telling bold and brave stories - just what American theatre needs. 

OCPA and No Square Theatre will present staged readings of these new plays October 24-25. Stay tuned for schedule and tickets!

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 AJ Layague.
