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.

Please note that all sessions will be held on Zoom.

Join DG Director of Business Affairs, Jessica Lit, Esq. for a walk-through of the newly updated DG Model Licensing Agreement.

This agreement is most frequently used for productions at amateur theatres, schools, and universities; making it one of the most frequently requested contracts in our library. In this session, you will learn how to use the contract, get a detailed explanation of its terms, insight on the new provisions added and tips for negotiating with theatres and producers.

Too busy celebrating and couldn’t join us for the Contract Bootcamp last month? Don’t worry, we’re hosting a second Contract Bootcamp on the Revised Model Licensing Agreement on Thursday January 15th at 3:30PM EST!

This agreement is one of the most popular templates in our library and is most often used when licensing your work to amateur theatres, schools and universities.

Join the Dramatists Guild, the CT Theater Women Network, and Goodspeed Musicals and help kick off the 2026 Festival of New Musicals!

We cordially invite you to a networking social that will include those involved with the festival and DG members from around the region.

PLEASE NOTE: Those wishing to stay to see that evening's musical or wishing to attend the Festival's activities throughout the weekend must purchase tickets or passes directly through Goodspeed (https://www.goodspeed.org/fnm).

The Business Affairs team is excited to present its new monthly series: Attorneys Backstage!

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