From an article in the Brown Daily Herald:

The evolution of a play from simple words on a page to full staging, costumes, lighting and set is a lengthy process for playwrights.

From the February 6, 2013 article in Motif Magazine:

The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has launched a $3.7 million initiative that will fund three-year playwright residencies, putting the selected scribes on staff at theaters around the country, complete with salaries and benefits. Visiting Assistant Professor Marcus Gardley is one of 14 playwrights to receive this distinction.
