Engage Playwrights Lab

Engage Playwrights Lab brings actors, directors, and playwrights together in collaboration to create new works. Taking a playwright's first drafts to the table, actors read aloud pieces and discuss areas for enhancement with the playwright. As the playwright revises their script, a director joins the conversation to help elicit an alignment among all creatives in envisioning the story. Utilizing communication amongst actors, playwrights, and directors, Engage Playwrights Lab strives to build a foundational environment for developing artists to hone their craft while facilitating creative relationship-building amongst such innovative teams.

We are committed to finding, exploring, and showing the work of new artists as they develop their stories while simultaneously looking back and studying the influences of their work. Engage Playwrights Lab was founded by Craig Perkins in 2021 to serve as a platform for inventive scripts and performance work. All art and people are welcome in our collaborative community.
