PlayList participants write new short scripts inspired by creative prompts linked by a theme. 2023’s inaugural PlayList writers group drew inspiration from two sources: a song about/featuring New York City and one of the city’s “hidden” landmarks.

Each applicant submitted a song/landmark and then the prompts were “shuffled” among the five selected playwrights.

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.
