PlaywrightsLab

This channel is dedicated to one of the most unique MFA programs in playwriting ever conceived.  Founded by Todd Ristau in 2007, this low residency/high intensity program meets for six weeks each summer as students work at their own pace to complete the 60 credit hours for the full Master of Fine Arts in Playwriting.  We also offer certificate training programs in the special skill sets of new play directing and performing in new plays.  Some of the most important names in new play development are members of our creative community where they interact with students as colleagues.  Please watch these videos of our students, faculty, guests and productions to get a better idea of who we are and how our playwrights get work done.
