We Make New Plays Happen by Developing Playwrights
writing the play

Welcome to Working Title Playwrights (WTP). Our goal is to provide all playwrights with the opportunity to excel: by helping them tell their stories for the stage, fostering the development of well-crafted plays, and increasing the visibility of theatre in the community.

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.

 
The Kick-Ass Series: Act One - A Gonzo Playwriting Workshop in Four Parts with Pamela Turner

Since launching the Kick-Ass Playwriting Series in 2007, WTP has gained an average of two people per workshop who felt compelled to be a Working Title Playwright based on their experience as Kick-Ass students. That's more than 20% of each workshop!

There is still room in the upcoming workshop that begins Feb. 13 - March 6, 2010. If you are interested in developing your craft or refreshing your foundations, Kick-Ass: Act One is for you!

"Working Title Playwrights, under the leadership of Managing Artistic Director Jill Patrick, has made it possible for us to hold our heads up high when anyone asks if Atlanta has a playwriting community. Many of us knew we were here, but Working Title has brought us together and tooted our horn for the whole world to see. They've organized seminars, workshops, readings, performances, and networking sessions, reminding everyone that this is serious business and we are holding on to some serious talent." ~ Pamela Turner
