Support Material / Playwrights Programs
Members of our Playwrights Workshop act as tutor/mentors to NJ high school students making their first forays into playwriting through Young Playwrights competition. They also act as judges for our online THINK FAST competition for nonmember playwrights: THINK FAST Short Play Competition
