The Chicago Dramatists’ Resident Playwright Program provides an array of play development opportunities to a select group of accomplished dramatists. Our Residents write for the stage and screen and regularly see their work produced across this country, from Broadway to Hollywood and beyond. They form a vibrant and varied artistic community, providing inspiration and support to their peers, mentoring rising Network Members and lending their expertise to our classes, programs and services. Together, they represent a remarkable spectrum of artistry, from bold political dramas and musicals to experimental theater and magical realism, to raw explorations of societal dysfunction and laugh-out-loud examinations of the human condition.
