PDC Playwright Residency at Plays & Players

The PDC Playwright Residency at Plays & Players aims to provide artistic development for Philadelphia’s next generation of professional playwrights. The residency supports chosen local writers who represent the highest potential for further growth and exploration.

The founders and producers of the PDC Residency at Plays & Players are Daniel Student, Plays & Players Executive Committee member and Artistic Director, and Wally Zialcita, PDC Executive Director and local playwright. To select the playwrights, Student and Zialcita, along with Rebecca Wright (local freelance director and InterAct Theatre Company Literary Director and Dramaturg), served on a panel that reviewed 27 writing samples and statements of purpose.
