NEXT GENERATION OF PLAYWRIGHTS SOUGHT
FOR UH’S ALBEE WORKSHOP
The University of Houston’s School of Theatre is looking
for a few good playwrights.
The school is accepting submissions for its distinguished Edward
Albee New Playwrights Workshop next spring. All writing samples
(poetry, scripts, short stories or plays) must be submitted by 5
p.m., Friday, Nov. 4.
For the third year in a row, Pulitzer Prize-winning dramatist and
Distinguished Lecturer Lanford Wilson will work with students in
developing original plays and guiding them through the production
process.
“This is a dream come true for budding playwrights,”
said Sidney Berger, director of the School of Theatre. “It
is truly rare that the next generation of playwrights can learn
directly from an esteemed veteran such as Lanford Wilson.”
In 2004, Wilson was recruited to oversee the workshop by its founder,
Pulitzer Prize winner and UH Distinguished Professor of Theatre
Edward Albee. He founded the workshop in 1989.
All participants must be accepted by Wilson and must enroll at
UH. Submissions should be sent to:

University of Houston
School of Theatre, 133 Wortham
Houston, TX 77204-4016
For work to be returned, submissions should be enclosed in a self-addressed
stamped manila envelope. For more information, call 713-743-3003.
