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.

"I want to express my deep appreciation for the warm welcome I received at last Monday's WTP meeting (my first). I was surprised and impressed with the amount of work that got done in such a short time. Everything was organized; everyone knew what to expect. I enjoyed being a part of such a productive group. I also learned a great deal about the craft and how to do it well. Bravo to the authors! And to the wonderful actors who did the reading! It's encouraging to think that I can have access to such talent while nurturing my own work." ~Raymond Fast
