Since the fall, Jim DeVivo (PTNJ's Director of Education) has led a small team of interns to compile a list of young playwrights programs across the United States as a first step in Playwrights Theatre's initiative to build a national database of these programs. We will collect information through a form on SurveyMonkey, which was sent to about 56 organizations who run contests, festivals, workshops, publications, or other opportunities for young playwrights (typically aged 18/19 or younger). We look forward to compiling the results and sharing a first draft of this database on the NJ Young Playwrights Festival website by the end of 2014.
If you are the administrator for a young playwrights program and did not receive this link, please contact Jim at jdevivo@ptnj.org.
You can follow the action on social media as we've asked those who share their information to announce the news of their participation under the hashtag #youngplaywrights.
