Please Note: During the COVID-19 Stay at Home Order, Playful Substance will be offering its online Writers' Groups for FREE. These Groups will begin in April. For more information, please fill out the form below. 
WELCOME to our feedback and accountability group for playwrights and screenwriters. Hopefully, this list will give you an idea of what we do and how we do it:
  • Sessions run for 8 weeks ($120 per Session)​
  • We have 2  Groups that meet in the East Village; Monday Group and Tuesday Group. 
  • ​Each Group Meeting is 3 hours allowing roughly 30-40 minutes to focus on each writers' work. Writers bring in UP TO 10 pages for presentation and lightly guided feedback from a small group of peers who will become very familiar with your work (and you with theirs)
  • Support continues outside Group Meetings with resources like  access to members from other groups on our Facebook Group, organized private readings for ready work, and consultation and support for self-producing writers
  • All members (current and former) may submit material for Pithy Parties. A Pithy Party is a public reading party where excerpts of work from our writers get presented to an invited audience providing you an opportunity to get your work heard, meet new actors, directors, and other writers while also seeing how your work is received by an audience.
