Upcoming Events

Dramatists Guild National Silent Writing is open to DG members and non-members at no additional cost.

Writing is an art that thrives on inspiration, yet it can often feel like a solitary journey. We know that finding the motivation to write can sometimes be challenging. That’s why the Dramatists Guild offers ongoing online silent writing sessions, designed to transform your solitary endeavor into a communal experience.

About the play:

Ana Fernandez, a bright and resilient 14-year old undocumented girl, is forced into hiding with the help of her compassionate teacher when immigration agents begin targeting students at her school. Drawing inspiration from Anne Frank's diary, Ana documents her fears, hopes and daily struggles as she and her father attempt to evade deportation.

There is one ten-minute intermission

Run time is approximately 100 minutes

The Business Affairs team is embarking on Year 2 of its monthly series: 

Attorneys Backstage! 

Each month, Director of Business Affairs, Jessica Lit, Esq. and Business Affairs Consultant, Leesa Fenderson, Esq., “pull back the curtain” on various aspects of the business of writing for the theatre.

Please note that all sessions will be held on Zoom.

Join DG Director of Business Affairs, Jessica Lit, Esq. and Staff Attorney, Leesa Fenderson, Esq., for a walk-through of the newly revised DG Model Underlying Rights Agreement!

This agreement is for dramatists who are looking to adapt a work protected by copyright into a musical or play. It grants the dramatist the right to create the adaptation, present a staged reading, and an option to acquire the right to present a fully staged production. This newly revised version adds clarity to that process. 

DG Members are invited to use code: DEAL2026 to get 25% off general pricing.

Performances run September 24–26 & September 30–October 2, 2026

What begins as a college theatre rehearsal becomes something no one planned for. Eli and Ryan are cast in their professor Finch’s original play, a story he wrote about a love he never got to finish. As they run lines, block scenes, and spend late nights together in the rehearsal room, the fiction begins to feel uncomfortably real.

DG members are invited to attend and get comp tickets. Email Matthew at matthewdnyc@gmail.com for tickets.

About the play: 

A whirl wind romance between two men becomes a trial about domestic abuse, with the two men each giving testimony that they then act out, as if the person is telling the truth but their testimonies contradict each other. The play investigates how to find the truth when the only love and memory are the only witnesses
