As part of her fellowship year, Clark will receive a $5,000 cash grant and will work on Dead Children, a new play "about a town without children and one family trying to pull together to bring back the dead."

Launched in 2003 and awarded each year to an early-career playwright who has not received wide public recognition or production opportunities in New York City, the P73 Playwriting Fellowship provides year-long development support to one early-career playwright annually. In addition, the recipient of the P73 Playwriting Fellowship receives a cash prize of $5,000. Past recipients of the P73 Playwriting Fellowship are Kirsten Greenidge, Quiara Alegría Hudes, Jason Grote, Krista Knight, Tommy Smith and Heidi Schreck. Quiara Alegría Hudes' Elliot, A Soldier's Fugue, which was developed as part of the P73 Playwriting Fellowship in 2005 and produced by Page 73 in 2006, was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for drama in 2007. Jason Grote's 1001 was developed in part with the support of the P73 Playwriting Fellowship and produced in 2006 by Page 73 under the direction of Ethan McSweeny.
