"The New Dramatists"

The New Dramatists is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and developing playwrights—individuals who write plays for the theater. Founded in 1949 in New York City, it provides writers with a creative community, rehearsal spaces, mentorship, and resources to refine their craft. By nurturing emerging and established playwrights, the organization aims to foster innovative and diverse theatrical works, contributing to the vitality of American theater. It functions both as a professional residency and as a champion of new voices in dramatic writing.
