Manhattan Theatre Club (Lynne Meadow, Artistic Dir; Chris Jennings, Executive Dir) has  playwright Bess Wohl as the 2025-26 recipient of MTC’s Judith Champion Playwriting Fellowship, which is awarded annually.

Fellowship recipients participate in the life of the institution in a manner tailored to their strengths and interests. In addition to a commission, the recipient is provided with a living allowance, access to office and rehearsal space, a ticket stipend, and a developmental workshop of at least one play during their fellowship year.
