Doug DeVita is a two-time O’Neill National Playwrights Conference Semi-Finalist (FABLE and JUST A RUMOR), and a Semi-Finalist for Barrington Stage Company’s Burman New Play Award (PHILLIE’S TRILOGY), B Street Theatre’s New Comedy Festival (GODDESS OF THE HUNT), Middlebury Acting Company’s American Dreaming Festival (ALL THE KING’S HORSES), and WeScreenplay’s Diverse Voices Competition (THE FIERCE URGENCY OF NOW).
His work has received Fresh Fruit Awards of Distinction for Outstanding Play (THE FIERCE URGENCY OF NOW) and Outstanding Production (THE FIERCE URGENCY OF NOW and PHILLIE’S TRILOGY), as well as the inaugural—and thus far only—Scrap Mettle Arts Emerging Playwrights Competition (PHILLIE’S TRILOGY).
In September 2024, FABLE received its world premiere at freeFall Theatre in St. Petersburg, Florida. In September 2025, a newly revised version of GODDESS OF THE HUNT — originally developed at the Kennedy Center Playwrights Intensive — will premiere at Lab Theater Project in Tampa, following a 2024 workshop production at New York’s Fresh Fruit Festival where it was nominated for a Broadway World Award for Best New Off-Off Broadway Play.
His plays have been seen in New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, New Jersey, Florida, Connecticut, and London, and developed by Davenport Theatrical’s Writers Workshop, ESPA/Primary Stages, and at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC (before it became “unwoke”).
Doug is a member of the Dramatists Guild, and his work is published by Next Stage Press and Smith & Kraus.
