End of Play.®: An Antepenultimate Chat

"An Antepenultimate Chat " - "Antepenultimate" means third from last, a fitting term for a chat on the third to the last day of End of Play 2026 -- even though it kind of sounds like it might be opposed to bringing things to a conclusion. Who knows, maybe you are opposed to wrapping things up at the end of the month. We'll take this opportunity for participants to discuss what they've done with their projects so far, along with what they hope to do in the next few days and the months ahead and share discoveries we want to take with us. Hosted by Danielle Dresden, Regional Rep for Wisconsin.

What is End of Play.®? End of Play.® is designed as a month-long initiative to empower a community of dramatic writers to spend time on their craft. Writers who participate in the program set a goal for themselves and post weekly updates to their community tracking their progress. Member goals have included drafting or revising a new play or musical, creating and revising 10-minute plays, and drafting lyrics or composing songs. The goal of End of Play.® is to get writers to the finish line through the motivation that comes from connection to a community of fellow dramatists.

A group of volunteer leaders across the country, including some of our DG Regional Reps, will facilitate local End of Play.® groups, with some meetings online and some in-person gatherings where available.
