Under the exciting new leadership of Amber Bradshaw, and the visionary programming she has proposed, I can’t wait to see how WTP grows in the next five years. I’m thrilled to serve on the Advisory Board and to help this vital organization flourish”– Margaret Baldwin (Lecturer and Interim General
Education Coordinator, Kennesaw State University)
Held on the first and third Monday of each month in the Little 5 Points Community Center, these sessions are free and open to theatre artists (please see the calendar for exact dates).
Members that would like to see a new full-length play on its feet may submit to the Series for the opportunity to have a rehearsed reading of their play. WTP provides a professional team of artists, theatre space and marketing support.
Launched in 2009 by Jill Patrick (Managing Artistic Director of WTP from 2006-2016), the Ethel Woolson Lab is an annual, competitive workshop series named in honor of supporter Gayle Austin’s mother, who has been a generous benefactor of WTP both then and now. Each year, up to three plays by WTP member playwrights are selected for the EWL. Each recipient is given a 25-hour developmental workshop, culminating in a rehearsed, staged reading for the public.
WTP offers classes, writers’ workshops, seminars, and new development panels to promote playwright education and community engagement, led by nationally-known theatre artists.
Be a part of the process. Sit in on a cold reading and feedback session with the cast, dramaturg and playwright. This is an exciting opportunity for members who have never experienced a table reading with cast and crew. See the magic happen behind the scenes.
WTP maintains a diverse roster of professional dramaturgs who are available for one-on-one dramaturgy. As a member benefit, this service is provided at a reduced rate.
