Arkansas Playwrights Workshop

For over a decade, the Arkansas Playwrights Workshop has been dedicated to nurturing new plays and playwrights, helping to foster new works for the American stage while providing a safe place for writers to work on their craft through regular workshop sessions and public readings. Sessions are free and open to beginning and advanced playwrights and screenwriters. Writers are encouraged to bring 10-15 pages of dialogue, which are read cold by actors, then commented upon by the group under the leadership of an experienced playwright.

Over the years, participants have ranged from absolute beginners to professionally produced dramatists; APW playwrights have won numerous awards and had their work produced at theatres around the country.

The group currently meets at 6:30 p.m. once a month on Tuesdays in the Community Room at the TheatreSquared. Actors and directors are always welcome, and walk-ins are encouraged. APW is directed by professional playwright Mark Landon Smith. For more information and to place your name on the APW email list, contact Mark Landon Smith at arkplaywrightsworkshop@gmail.com.
