Our classes are now online, giving students anywhere the opportunity to join us this summer for our newest round of courses.
Chicago Dramatists stands as the only comprehensive playwright development center of its kind in Chicago. Our classes, led by our highly experienced and supportive faculty, are dedicated to the writer - their vision, their voice, their process. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive community dedicated to nurturing dramatic writers at every stage of their evolution, from new writers just beginning their creative journey, to seasoned dramatists dedicated to furthering their craft. Workshops, readings, classes, and special programs, provide opportunities for dramatists to develop their work, expand their professional affiliations, showcase their plays and collaborate with actors, directors, and audiences during the creative process.
Our award-winning playwrights are regularly produced in Chicago, on Broadway and at regional theaters throughout the country. Our playwrights are also shaping writers' rooms in LA, sending our Chicago stories to living rooms across the world. We are committed to dynamic exchange and experimentation, leading to new and innovative works for the American stage and screen. Whether your interest lies in solo-storytelling, playwriting, musical theatre, or screenwriting, we have classes tailor-made for you.
