Volunteer

We wouldn’t have been able to accomplish a fraction of our production history without the generous support of folks in our community! If you’re interested in volunteering as an actor for our cold reading series R&D, or you’ve got time to volunteer at an event or a service you’d like to donate, please let us know and we’ll be in touch.

Let’s Meet Up!

If you are an artist or theatre-maker in the NYC area interested in getting involved on a deeper level and would like to meet up for conversation, please reach out! One (or both!) of Step1’s Artistic Directors may be able to treat you to a coffee and get into conversation about your interests.


R & D (Reading & Drinking) Submissions

Reading & Drinking (also known as "R&D") is a free, informal gathering of artists where you can BYOB and Read & Develop new works & works in progress by local independent playwrights. Pieces range from short plays, full lengths, and musical excerpts. Our intention is to create a comfortable, judgement-free space for playwrights to present their work, hear their plays read aloud by local volunteer independent actors, and exchange a dialogue designed to provide insight on how to develop the piece further.

Please fill out this submission form for consideration! This season, we are accepting submissions from Trans women, cis women, and non-binary playwrights.
