About this organization
Mission
An artist-driven organization dedicated to the development of new plays and playwrights. Playpenn fully supports the needs of the writer and the demands of the play in an ever-evolving process that creates a relaxed tension within which playwrights can engage in risk taking, boundary-pushing work.
About
The organization's flagship annual new play development conference and year-round development workshops in cooperation with producing theatres result in staged readings of at least 10 new plays each year for over 1,800 artists, producers, and theatergoers. Additionally, Playpenn's rapidly expanding educational programs-which include 15-17 in-person and online classes annually with notable instructors, application assistance, and personalized dramaturgy services-serve another 230+ playwrights from Philadelphia and across the nation. Playpenn supports artists at all career stages across a broad spectrum of cultural, economic, ethnic, and gender experience, and offers professional development opportunities for aspiring playwrights through an internship program plus the Foundry, a three-year membership group for emerging playwrights resident in Philadelphia.
