A Letter from the President

Dear Subscriber:

As I enter my fifth year as President of Dramatists Play Service, I can’t help but note the changes that have occurred in the American theater even in the brief time since I started. More and more, the theater is reflecting all of our society, rather than just a small part of it.

2017 saw four first-time Tony Award nominees for Best Play: Lucas Hnath’s A Doll’s House, Part 2 ; ’s ; ’s Indecent; and the winner, J.T. Rogers’s . The Play Service is proud to include all of them in our catalogue. Women were well-represented this year, and the inclusion of ’s The Little Foxes in the Best Revival of a Play category reminds us that DPS has a long and proud history of representing women playwrights. In addition to Hellman, here are some other women who have graced our roster since the early days of our 81-year history: Jane Bowles, , Alice Childress, Rachel Crothers, Edna Ferber, Lucille Fletcher, Ruth Goetz, , Ruth Gordon, June Havoc, Molly Kazan, Jean Kerr, Adrienne Kennedy, Carson McCullers, Nancy Mitford, Mary Orr, Cornelia Otis Skinner, Bella Spewack. If some of the names are unfamiliar to you, take a moment and look them up in the catalogue. The plays which they wrote (or co-wrote) may surprise you.

We’ve added some other terrific women to that list this year: Mfoniso Udofia (Sojourners and Her Portmanteau); Margot Melcon (Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley, with Lauren Gunderson); Lynda Radley (The Interference); Anne Hamburger (Wilderness, with Seth Bockley); Lucy Teitler (Engagements); Isley Lynn (Skin a Cat); Jaclyn Backhaus (Men on Boats); (The Children, , and Mosquitoes); Sheri Wilner (Kingdom City); Clare Lizzimore (Animal). And for the first time, the Play Service is proud to represent plays by trans and genderqueer writers: Orange Julius by Basil Kreimendahl, Draw the Circle by Mashuq Mushtaq Deen, Hir by Taylor Mac. Check out the “New Plays” section of the catalogue for descriptions of these plays, and then buy the scripts—and produce them! They represent just a part of the commitment of the Play Service to new writing that comes from the broadest cross-section possible of the American theater.

That commitment to fostering new work continues with our new partnerships with The Lark, the Lilly Awards, Waterwell, and the Educational Theatre Association.

Please continue to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and keep up with our ever-improving website.

Thank you! Sincerely,

Peter Hagan President
