Transformation

No. 2

Vol. 28

Spring 2026

The Spring 2026 edition of the quarterly embraces the transformational nature of the season, from Rolling World Premieres with the National New Play Network to “The Alchemy of Adaptation.”

Also in this issue, Keiko Green answers “Ten Questions,” Crystal Skillman and Benjamin Benne offer some advice on breaking out of the endless submissions cycle, and Amanda Green, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, and Christine Toy Johnson share a glimpse into a much-needed discussion on money from the newest season of Talkback.

THE DRAMATIST is the official journal of the Dramatists Guild of America, the professional organization of playwrights, composers, lyricists, and librettists. It is made possible by funding from the Council of the Dramatists Guild of America, a generous gift from the JOHN LOGAN FOUNDATION through a grant from the Dramatists Guild Foundation, and contributions from Guild members LIKE YOU.
