Master Classes
This portion of our website is currently still under construction. Check back as we continue to rebuild our archive of over 50 years of theatrical storytelling.
Playwrights Horizons is excited to invite you to join us for Perspectives On Playwriting (POP). In the interest of deepening our audience's engagement with new plays, we want to connect you — our most adventurous theater lovers — with some of our favorite theater makers.
No previous playwriting experience required. All are welcome!
Our Master Class series features some of the most dynamic artists working in the American theater. Classes are free to stream and available in our POP Master Class video archive, via our Digital Library.
Classes consist of lecture-style presentations by teachers, sometimes including interactive writing exercises. Each session also includes a Q&A with attendees, facilitated by members of the Playwrights artistic staff.
Since 2020, classes are streamed live on YouTube, sometimes including interactive writing or generative exercises.
Participants will likely have different orientations to this work. Some may be writers or artists looking for inspiration to inform their continuing practice. For others with no formal experience or training, we invite you to join us in the spirit of trying something new! Our hope is that these classes might inform the way in which you think about attending theatrical events as an audience member.
Playwrights Horizons is passionate about equipping our community with the tools to engage with new plays with rigor and care.
