Most people don't think much about where theater begins. But that question is at the heart of everything we do here at The Playwrights' Center. All our programs and services are geared toward working playwrights. The Playwrights' Center has evolved over three decades to become one of the nation's most revered incubators of new theater. Because the Center is dedicated to serving writers at all levels of experience, we have two types of membership:
General Membership ($50 annually)

General Membership is available to anyone. Membership is the primary way to
access Center services, including our well-established Writer’s
Opportunities, e-Bulletin, regular columns and interviews with playwrights
and literary managers as well as other benefits. Our web site has been completely
redesigned with members in mind. Now our members have access to an exclusive
members-only area.
Here’s what is available in the new Members-Only Area:
• Create an online profile, upload scripts & share them with other members.
• Search and save Writer's Opportunities that interest you, and easily check on them later.
• Access forums to connect with other writers.
• Enroll in classes and renew your membership with the click of a button.
• Meet our current fellows and get fellowship information online.
