A Letter from the President

Dear Subscriber:

Giving new a home has been Dramatists Play Service’s goal since we were founded by the Dramatists Guild and dedicated play agents back in 1936. This year’s catalogue provides ample . New additions to our stellar roster of writers include Ngozi Anyanwu (GOOD GRIEF, a moving, lyrical look at a young woman coping with the death of her childhood best friend); Frank Basloe (PLEASE CONTINUE, the disturbing story of “obedience experiments” at Yale in the 1960s); William Jackson Harper (TRAVISVILLE, a powerful about gentrification in a Texas town during the 1960s Civil Rights movement); Greg Keller (DUTCH MASTERS, a tense two-hander about a chance encounter in a New York subway car); Mike Lew (TEENAGE DICK, a contemporary take on RICHARD III in which Richard is reimagined as a high school boy with cerebral palsy); Donja R. Love (SUGAR IN OUR WOUNDS, a magical-realism tale of black gay love set during the Civil War); Ming Peiffer (USUAL GIRLS, a painful and wry study of one young woman’s journey to adulthood); Christina Quintana (SCISSORING, about a woman’s struggle to be true to herself—but also keep her job); Kate Scelsa (EVERYONE’S FINE WITH VIRGINIA WOOLF, a biting, hilarious parody of Albee’s famous play); and Lloyd Suh (THE CHINESE LADY, based on the true story of the first Chinese woman to set foot in —where she was put on display for paying customers). won the for her play FAIRVIEW, the 48th Pulitzer Prize winner to enter our catalogue.

We’ve also taken on some wonderful new musicals: THE PEOPLE IN THE PICTURE, book and lyrics by Iris Rainer Dart and music by Mike Stoller and Artie Butler, brings us into the world of Yiddish theatre in Poland in the 1930s; CRUEL INTENTIONS: THE ‘90S MUSICAL, created by Jordan Ross, Lindsey Rosin and Roger Kumble, based on the cult hit film and featuring for musical numbers the movie’s iconic ‘90s pop soundtrack; DIVA: LIVE FROM HELL by S.P. Monahan and Alexander Sage Oyen, which takes place in a cabaret in—where else?—hell, as a high-school diva attempts to atone for the sins that brought him there; and the Q BROTHERS CHRISTMAS CAROL by the Q Brothers Collective, a hip-hop retelling of the holiday classic.

New plays by Play Service stalwarts acquired this year include Emily Mann (: A LIFE) and (MLIMA’S TALE). And we are thrilled to welcome Tom Stoppard (THE HARD PROBLEM) and (iHO) to the DPS family.

Please continue to follow us on our ever-expanding social media platforms: Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. And join the many who have discovered the pleasures of the DPS Book Club—seven different plays, four times a year, combining our new acquisitions with the best from the last 83 years.

We look forward to another banner season. Sincerely,

Peter Hagan President
