East West Playwrighting Institute

Join the most active Asian Pacific American playwright development program in the country, which has nurtured works produced at theatres nation-wide. This 10-week workshop is designed to help new and experienced writers start or develop new plays into scripts that are ready to be put on stage. Each 4-hour session will include: a warm-up writing exercise, reading and discussion of 3 or 4 works in progress, and assignments from dramatic literature to inspire writers. The workshop culminates in staged readings of the works in progress with professional actors and directors at East West Players’ David Henry Hwang Theater.
