Are you thinking of a career as a professional theatre writer? Making the transition from a protected educational setting into the industry can feel intimidating, but we’re here to help ease the way! Join members of the Dramatists Guild staff for a special session that focuses on how to empower yourself as a writer, what you are entitled to as an independent contractor of intellectual property, how to seek out a support network, how to discover career advancement opportunity, and more. This free session is designed for anyone who is interested in learning more about the business of writing for the stage, and anyone who wants to discover related resources. Students should consider taking a quick look at the Dramatists Guild website, and be prepared to talk about your experience, desires as a theatre writer, and/or past experiences that you think might translate to questions about working in the industry.
