To convene established and emerging playwrights from across the nation annually for a productive and creative week dedicated to developing craft, improving business practices and understanding new technologies that are impacting the way playwrights work


City Theatre will cultivate South Florida playwrights by hosting an annual conference that brings together local writers with national playwrights, artistic directors and industry leaders. CityWrights will go to the heart of a playwright's craft, offering master classes, workshops and mentorships in artistic and professional development. The process will be open to all through public readings with local actors and directors, giving audiences a role in the process from page to stage and promoting the theater as a center for fresh, new works.
