Launched in 2016, The Sol Project is a national theater initiative dedicated to producing the work of Latine playwrights in New York City and beyond.

Guided by the values of joy, rigor and generosity, The Sol Project works in partnership with leading theaters around the country to amplify Latinx voices and build artistic homes for artists of color.

​​Through the writers we champion, The Sol Project aspires to create a bold, powerful, and kaleidoscopic body of work for the new American theater.

FINDINGS: The Sol Project pairs 12 Latine playwrights, at various career stages, with 12 Off-Broadway companies to execute mainstage New York productions of each playwright’s work (one playwright, to one company).

As a part of their partnership with The Sol Project, all our partners also agree to commission a new play by a Latinx playwright for future production, ensuring that we are seeding the field with fresh work by Latinx voices.

Since launching in 2016, The Sol project has supported 6 World Premieres, 34 Latine Playwrights, 100+ Latine Actors, and 17 Latine Directors.
