Upcoming Events

Calling all DG members in New Mexico! Join your fellow playwrights, lyricists, composers, and librettists at our monthly meetings!

You are welcome to bring a piece of writing, a submission opportunity, or writing exercise that you'd like to share with the group. Alternately, you can come to support your fellow writers and to receive support from them in return.

These gatherings, which will take place on the third Sunday of every month, are free and open to all DG members who live in New Mexico. 

Please note some dates are being held IN-PERSON ONLY while others will be held on ZOOM ONLY. There are no hybrid meetings. 

We invite all theatre writers, actors, directors, technicians, designers, and more interested in helping to workshop and cultivate new works to join us. Creatives beyond the Pheonix, AZ region are welcome. It is free and open for all DG Members and non-members to attend.

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.

This is an IN-PERSON event only. 

When Ray inherits Lighthouse Books, a charming Cape Cod shop, he discovers more than dusty tomes. As the eerie fog rolls in and a mysterious stranger demands a rare book, Ray and his witty mother, Brigid, must uncover long-buried secrets. With haunted volumes and a curse tied to a dead man’s will, they find themselves in a race against time to solve a deadly puzzle— or risk becoming part of the shop’s ghostly lore. Cursed Pages is a witty and suspenseful ghost story where words hold more power than anyone imagined.

This is an ONLINE event for DG Members.
