PlayList is a short play development series where a cohort of playwrights are selected to write new 10 minute plays inspired by creative prompts linked by a theme. Each playwright submits suggestions to fit the prompt, which always include a song related to the theme. The suggestions are “shuffled” among the playwrights to be used as inspiration points for their plays. Over the course of several moderated feedback sessions with our community of artists and invited guests, playwrights complete the project with a rigorously crafted, submission-ready short play, culminating in a public presentation of the work.

PlayList is for writers of any background, identity, education or experience level who are interested in honing their work on a short script with a room full of artists experienced in new play development.

The CRY HAVOC Company believes that writing a script doesn’t have to be a completely solitary experience. Collaborative feedback at key points in your writing process can bring you closer to your goals. Our approach to script development places your writing  goals at the center of the workshop process, ensuring that collaborators are giving feedback that helps you write the play you are trying to write.
