Who We Are

Our Mission Statement:

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 folks at WTP are professional and the vibe is right on - nice mix of people, not only in terms of aesthetic sensibility, but also ethnicity, gender, age, etc. In addition, there are sufficient levels and processes for reading, critiquing or otherwise presenting work, whether you're buddingly new or in mid-career, if you're serious about your work, your work will be taken seriously at WTP." ~ Marian X
