PlayShops

Our Annual PlayShop Festival occurs in the Spring each year. During this unique and intensive program, playwrights work collaboratively with a director, dramaturg, designers, actors, and audiences over a five-week period to fully develop scripts into plays ready for world premiere productions.

We will seek new, previously unproduced scripts from playwrights in the greater Philadelphia area. Philadelphia Theatre Workshop looks to the PlayShop Festival to choose productions for our mainstage season. PTW presents world premieres of high quality scripts that reflect diverse, contemporary, human stories. We are looking for unproduced, full-length, contemporary plays that require simple sets and costumes, with small casts and low technical requirements. For the festival, we are specifically seeking plays that are IN PROGRESS and would benefit from the five-week developmental process.
