What is it?

The Wildfire Development Unit is a curated dramaturgical opportunity for playwrights and interdisciplinary artists under 30 who seek to develop their work over a year-long period with the Major Matt Mason Collective.

MMMC provides ongoing dramaturgical support, hires artists for workshopping & research purposes, provides producing mentorship, and publicly disseminates the work to help gauge audience response.
