upcoming classes
Summer 2025
Sharing your work with the world is an incredible rush but it’s also undeniably vulnerable. After the often isolating process of creation, putting your work out there can feel daunting.
Our classes foster a collaborative atmosphere where artists can bounce ideas off one another, share in the joys and challenges of the field, and be inspired by the renowned writers and industry professionals who lead each course.
To expand our continuing education classes this summer, we are collaborating with the Dramatists Guild Institute (DGI).
Our upcoming semester represents the ethos of both professional development programs: theatre makers at all skill levels deserve affordable and rigorous training opportunities outside of traditional MFA programs.
PlayPenn believes that cost should never be a barrier to learning. Flexible payment plans are available, and we’re happy to work with students to find a solution that fits their needs.
