The Playwrights Realm is at it again, filling an opportunity gap in the field with the new Aspiring Playwrights program—and I’m thrilled to be the Program Content Producer!
It all began during lockdown, with ScriptShare, a free, lottery-based submission program pairing aspiring writers with a theatre professional for a one-hour feedback session about their work. Building on the idea, The Realm has created Aspiring Playwrghts, a program open to anyone who's interested in writing for the stage. Through a curriculum of free online articles, videos, and services created in conjunction with our Realm family of artists, this program covers the basics of playwriting as an art form and profession, and requires no application - all are welcome! (ScriptShare remains as a part of the A.P. program, too!)
The first slate of written and video content goes live TODAY. Check it out, share widely, and come back every month for additional content!
