    What do we do?

    We promote original theater works written by Vermont Writers. We consider a Vermont Writer anyone who has lived in Vermont for a period of three consecutive months at any time in their lives. We believe that in living a season in Vermont, people create lasting connections to the state that they take with them when the move, and we recognize that our seasonal community members contribute a value to our local artist community.

  • Workshops

    Currently, the workshop is being held on Zoom...

    On the Third Tuesday evening of each month starting at 6:30 pm.

    Please email vtplaywrightscircle@gmail.com for a current link to the workshop.

    In August, we usually forego workshop due to the heavy lift of creating our ten-minute play festival.)
