Graduate Playwriting Program

How to Apply - Faculty & Staff

A message from the Artistic Director to those interested in our Graduate Program:

The Playwriting Program is challenging and exciting, and it requires a full-time commitment to the theatre. It is a wonderful way to immerse yourself in the pitfalls and joys of writing for the stage.

Boston is a beautiful and cosmopolitan city with its own challenges and joys. There are over 50 colleges and universities within a 50-mile radius of Boston University. There are free lectures, seminars, readings, plays, musical performances, and a multitude of sporting events and shopping areas. The restaurants in Boston are equal to any in the world. Boston Playwrights' Theatre itself is within walking distance of Fenway Park, and we are located one block from the Charles River where you can join the rowing crews and sailors on the water. Bicycles and runners traverse the lovely esplanade leading to the band shell at the top of the Charles, and, of course, there's the Boston Marathon on Patriots' Day every April (don't forget our own Boston Theater Marathon).

I hope you will consider joining us! Please continue exploring our website to learn more about the opportunities available to you at Boston Playwrights' Theatre.
