Young Playwriting Company

Theatre Education > Pre-Professional Training: Young Companies > Young Playwriting Company

The Young Playwriting Company

This is a hands-on program focused on the creative process of playwriting. Under the mentorship of an established playwright and dramaturg, students work on short plays which are presented in a series of staged readings at the end of the program year. Students also attend masterclasses hosted by professional playwrights, dramaturgs, and directors with a diverse background of experience and writing styles. While this program is designed for participants aged 16 – 21, applicants to the Young Playwriting Company who are older than 21 years of age will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
