Pithy is an accountability group for playwrights and screenwriters in the New York City area designed to support artists through weekly reads, immediate feedback, and resource sharing. As Pithy grows, Playful Substance is prepared to provide workshops, readings and practical assistance on a project by project and artist by artist basis.
How to Get Involved
Pithy has two separate writer’s groups that meet weekly at an East Village location in NYC. Each group has an 8 week commitment and writers are welcome to re-enroll as many times as they like. The two groups meet as follows:
Monday Group (Beginning April 9, 2018) 6:00- 9:00 PM (FULL) Tuesday Group ( Beginning April 10, 2018) 6:00- 9:00 PM (1 Spot Available)
Cost for the 8 sessions is $120. Payment plans available.

What Is A Pithy Party???
Pithy Parties are low key, public readings for works in progress. Pithy Parties are an opportunity to share your work and ideas with other NYC artists; directors, actors, writers and whoever else wants to join in the fun. Pithy Parties aren’t for polished projects. Pithy Parties are for taking that material out for a spin with a loving, smart, supportive audience. So bring friends, introduce each other, get to know someone else’s work and embrace risk and all its rewards!
