Arkansas Playwrights Workshop

For two decades, 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 anywhere from 10-15 pages of dialogue to full length plays or scripts, which are read cold by actors and 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. In addition to workshop readings, APW also sponsors public readings throughout the year and provides practical information regarding the business of playwriting.

The group currently meets at 7:00pm on the fourth Tuesday of every month at TheatreSquared. Actors, directors, and the public are always welcome, and walk-ins are encouraged. APW is directed by writer, actor, and director, Mark Beasley, and managed by local actor, Alissa Gaithe.
