Membership Poll...
There's been a lot of controversy lately over the question of how much is too much. Namely, how big a percentage is reasonable for first producers to demand of future royalties.
What do you think is reasonable? Weigh in on this important issue affecting dramatists worldwide.
We are a community of playwrights, composers and lyricists dedicated to protecting, informing, and promoting the interests of dramatists everywhere.
We do this by providing free of charge to our members:
-
Contracts and legal advice.
-
Information about representation, production opportunities, theatrical resources, grants, prizes, awards and members’ publications through our web-site and bi-monthly magazine, The Dramatist.
-
Rigorous defense of our copyrights - that is, we protect the right to own and control our own work.
-
Resources to counter censorship and artistic encroachment of any kind.
-
Cultural & educational exchanges with other playwrights, composers and lyricists in the form of informal talks and round table discussions with theater professionals.
-
Year-long fellowships and observerships for new writers.
-
Advocacy for cultural diversity, including issues of race, class, gender, ethnicity and disability.
-
Access to health insurance plans and through The Dramatists’ Guild Fund, providing financial support for writers in need.
"People come to the theater,” David Mamet once said, “to be told the truth.” From O’Neill to Albee to Sondheim, the voice which has spoken that truth has been the voice of the American playwright.
It is the mission of the Dramatists Guild to ensure that the voice of the playwright will continue to be heard loudly, clearly, and without compromise.
