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.

Join us for an exciting community-building event with the Dramatists Guild, the O'Neill and the Connecticut Theater Women Network on the beautiful CT shoreline! Space is limited, so please reserve your spot in advance.

This informal mixer is the perfect opportunity for playwrights, composers, lyricists, and librettists to connect with fellow theater writers and makers. Enjoy light food and drinks, provided by the CT Theater Women Network, while mingling in a relaxed setting. Meet up with old colleagues and meet some new ones!

Join Director of Business Affairs, Jessica Lit, Esq. and Business Affairs Consultant, Leesa Fenderson, Esq. for an in depth look at our newly updated Model Collaboration Agreement.

In this 1.5-hour session, the Guild attorneys will walk you through the new Collaboration Agreement explaining how to use it and what each provision means, give you tips for how to adjust it for your particular needs and answer any questions you may have along the way.
