The Dramatist Collective.

 In Community News

The Fort Wayne Civic Theatre is pleased to announce it’s first year of The Dramatist Collective.

First meeting:
Sunday September 29th- 3pm-5pm

The Dramatist Collective is a dynamic group of playwrights dedicated to nurturing and advancing new theatrical works and ideas. Meeting monthly, the Collective offers a supportive environment for writers to share their projects, exchange feedback, and collaborate on transitioning scripts from page to stage. With a focus on professional development and creative growth, the group fosters a collaborative space where ideas can flourish, and plays can evolve through constructive dialogue and shared expertise. Whether you’re a seasoned playwright or just starting out, the Dramatist Collective provides the tools and community needed to bring your theatrical visions to life.

The Dramatist Collective meets monthly and is billed annually. Dues are $5 a month ($60 per year, due at first meeting payable by check or card.)

For our first year, we are seeking collaborative writers and artists interested in writing for the stage. All ability is welcome, but members must be 18 years of age and older.
