This week-long celebration of new plays, identified through the Literary Wing, provides selected playwrights with a creative team (including a director and actors), ten hours of rehearsal time and a public presentation to work on specific developmental goals in his or her play.
.
 
Playwrights can feel safe to explore ambitious work, have the freedom to discover new aspects of their own work and discover ideas and perspectives new to them.

Playwrights’ Week is complemented by opportunities to engage in lively conversation about the relevance of new plays and works of theater. To do this we create panel and community events.

Plays developed in Playwrights’ Week regularly go on to full productions at theaters across the country. Recent success stories include world premieres of Laurel Haines' FUTURE ANXIETY at The Flea Theater, Lila Rose Kaplan's WILDFLOWER at Second Stage Theatre, and Aditi Kapil's LOVE PERSON has received multiple productions across the U.S. from Minnesota (Mixed Blood Theater, Minneapolis), to Califonria (Marin Theater in the Bay Area), and to Indiana (Phoenix Theater, Indianapolis).
