The American Theatre Wing’s panel discussion series, Working in the Theatre, brings together performers, directors, playwrights, designers, choreographers and behind-the-scenes personnel from the Broadway theatre.

CUNY TV currently airs five recent seminars every week, and the series can also be seen on Cablevision’s Metro Guide and cable systems in California.

A panel of current New Dramatists playwrights -- Carlyle Brown, David Grimm, Quiara Alegría Hudes and Lucy Thurber -- talk about their differing styles of playwriting, what inspired them to start writing, how the world of the playwright has evolved and changed, what influences their writing and the challenges in getting their work produced. The program also includes an interview with New Dramatists Artistic Director Todd London, discussing how New Dramatists serves as haven for emerging playwrights and describing the new voice of the playwright, the opportunities for playwrights on and off Broadway and the different types of work being written today.
