Dear Hiring Manager,

I am a seasoned playwright with 20 years of experience in crafting award-winning material, and I am excited to submit my application for the Playwright-in-Residence opportunity.

Throughout my career, I have penned 27 plays for both stage and radio, all of which have successfully made it to production. While my focus is primarily on dramatic works, I have also dabbled in comedy with great success. Some of my most notable works include The Carry On, Emka & Emko, Lolz Rulz OK!, A Very Modern Ruffian, Hanky-Panky, and A Summer Breeze. I have had the privilege of receiving prestigious awards such as the Antonyo Award, Giles Cooper Award, Meyer-Whitworth Award, and the Richard Imison Award.

I would be honored to serve as your Playwright-in-Residence. I have a long-standing relationship with your theatre, having attended performances there for the past three decades, and it was the first venue to produce A Very Modern Ruffian, a connection that holds a special place in my heart.

Attached you will find my résumé for your review. Additionally, my portfolio can be accessed at www.candidatename.com/portfolio.

Thank you for considering my application. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to discuss next steps with you.

Sincerely,
Victoria Smith
