About Me

We make new plays happen... by developing playwrights.

WTP works with playwrights, directors, actors, audiences, theatres and theatre organizations to help writers create their plays. We offer readings, educational seminars and opportunities for playwrights to see and hear their work onstage in its earliest stages and when it's ready for a full production by a theatre.

We also help our playwrights understand the process of promoting their plays and serve as a clearinghouse for theatres that are interested in new work.
