The Spring 2025 Workshop Writers Intensive is now accepting applications!

"The Workshop Intensives create a safe, diverse space where every voice is heard with compassion, which strengthens every writer’s work. The theater fosters an environment where all people can thrive. As a gay person of color, I deeply appreciate the Workshop's inclusive vision."

- Aaron Coleman, Yale Drama Series shortlist for "Tell Me I'm Gorgeous At the End of the World"

What's That?

The Workshop Intensive is a weekly writer’s group that runs for 10 weeks, with four writers, and two facilitators/dramaturges. Writers submit an unproduced play, along with a statement of rewrite goals, and are then selected by the artistic staff. The script can be a first draft, only partially finished, or something that has been worked on many times. We are agnostic as to form and content.

When Is It?

Tuesdays - March 11th - May 20th (with April 15th off)
Wednesdays - March 12th - May 21st (with April 16th off)
Thursdays - March 22nd - May 22nd (with April 17th off)

How Does the intensive Work?

It is a weekly, virtual writer’s group that runs for 10 weeks, with no more than 4 writers. Each weekly session will last two hours, with a pair of writers presenting for one hour (including discussion). Writers will alternate so that each writer presents every other week, for a total of four times. There will be two moderators/facilitators/dramaturgs to run the intensive.

 How Do I APPLY? 

Writers must submit a pdf draft of a full-length script (or as much of one as the writer has), a statement of their rewriting goals, and their day of the week availability.

When are applications due?

Applications will be accepted until Tuesday, December 31st at 11:59pm EST OR until 120 scripts are submitted. Apply here: https://forms.gle/hzFMr9bVUCxDMsHi8 Please contact info@workshoptheater.org with questions.

 What's Expected of Me?

  • Be present at all 10 sessions.  

  • Set aside time to address rewrite ideas between sessions.

  • Read the other three scripts before the intensive starts.

  • Be willing to read (act) each other’s work, as needed.

  • Provide a digital headshot and a brief bio (200 words or less) for The Workshop website

 What's the Catch?

No catch. The Workshop Intensive is free to any playwrights with a script they want to work on. Special Consideration will be given to BIPOC Playwrights.

NOTE: Previous Intensive participants must wait one (1) cycle until they apply again (ie: Fall 2024 participants cannot apply for Spring 2025, but can apply for Fall 2025)
