Playwrights can continue their study of playwriting in the Advanced Playwriting Workshop, an exciting year-long program for motivated and talented high school-aged playwrights in the NYC area. Offered completely free of charge, this unique course provides an extraordinary opportunity for the expansion and exercise of the playwriting craft, exploration of establishment and alternative writing forms, collaboration and interaction with other young dramatists, and intensive study with distinguished master artists.

The Advanced Playwriting Workshop meets in midtown Manhattan every Tuesday from 4:30 - 7:00 pm starting in fall 2010 and continuing throughout the academic year. Participants are guided through playwriting exercises culled from the Write A Play! curriculum. Participants also attend Broadway and Off Broadway productions followed by lively discussions with playwrights, directors, producers, and cast members. Over the course of the school year, Advanced Playwriting Workshop members develop and revise new plays of their own; excerpts of the plays will be presented at a professionally staged Off Broadway reading on spring 2011 at a location to be announced.
