FROM STAGE TO PAGE

The Lemonade Stand is proud to be an official partner of 1319 Press! As a partner theatre company, all of our mainstage shows will have a direct path to publication, while our playwrights will join the incredible community already fostered by 1319 Press.

The goal of 1319 Press is to highlight the talent of emerging playwrights by giving them a way to share their work beyond just a PDF. By publishing their writing with 1319, playwrights have a way to distribute their script that also provides them with revenue to sustain their livelihoods or even help fund future productions. ​

We are thrilled to be joining forces with 1319 Press to continue to amplify and celebrate new voices and new work in theatre. Consider checking out their existing line up of plays at 1319press.com!
