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. 

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.

This group typically meets once a month on the last Sunday of each month.

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.

Playwrights living in New Mexico are invited to submit a play for inclusion in New Mexico's 2024-2025 DG Footlights™ Reading Series!

Readings will be held at Teatro Paraguas, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Each reading will be followed by an audience talkback. Specific dates will be assigned based on the volume of submissions; if more submissions are received than dates available, plays will be chosen by lottery. We have six available dates:

In this comedy-drama, Ike is hospitalized with a life-threatening condition. In dreams and in reality, he is forced to confront the emotional limitations of the maleness he was raised with. Will he continue to follow the dictates of his alter ego, Zacky? Or can he let go in time to win back Yuliana, his true love whom he’s held at a distance too long.

A talk back with the playwright will occur after the reading.
