This ten-week workshop series is designed for more experienced writers who are interested in taking their work to the next level and learning some of the ins and outs of being a professional playwright. The series also includes a master class with one of the industry’s most renowned playwrights. The series culminates with a sharing of roughly ten minute segments from original plays written by the participants and read by professional actors.
This year, New York Theatre Workshop and Poetic Theater Productions and its veterans have come together to create the first Veteran Voices Playwriting Seminar. NYTW Teaching Artist Dylan Guerra provides guidance to twelve veterans, who at the end of the program will hopefully have drafts of new plays! NYTW and PTP will produce a showcase highlighting these playwrights’ works-in-progress.
Poetic’s Artistic Director Jeremy Karafin shares
When NYTW reached out to us in connection to the launch of their Open Mic program, we were inspired by the opportunity to officially collaborate with this legendary East Village based institution that believes in and embraces the transformative power of theater. Presenting both the open mic program and this new Veteran Voices playwriting workshop series in collaboration with NYTW has been a wonderful way to expand opportunities to the artists in our communities and to celebrate voices that need to be heard.
