Join our supporters in making the impossible possible by helping keep WordBRIDGE a closed door Laboratory invested in crafting bold experiments for the next generation of American Playwrights.

Laboratories exist in the corporate sector to develop new products or ideas. Playwrights deserve just such a laboratory in which to hone their scripts or ideas. WordBRIDGE provides an invigorating, inspiring environment for research and development into playwrights and playwriting. Our partnership with CENTERSTAGE provides rehearsal space, but WordBRIDGE is responsible for providing housing travel and food. All donations to WordBRIDGE go directly to supporting the residencies of WordBRIDGE artists.

WordBRIDGE extends a very special thank you to all our donors for their generous contributions. Please join their ranks and be a part of generous company.

Lab Perspective: Playwrights

"Those two weeks (all too brief) did something for me that I am certain no playwriting class in the country could have done: WordBRIDGE helped me uncover my own creative process, and as an added bonus, I learned more about playwriting than I could have thought possible in such a short period of time. I got to play, make big ol' messes, take some risks, and find gold in what I thought was trash. It feels like I have traded in my box of 16 Crayolas for the monster box of 64 with all the cool colors and the crayon sharpener built right in, and that box of crayons will serve me for years to come."

"WordBRIDGE was, by far, one of the most phenomenal experiences I've had in the theatre community. I completely changed the way I look at my writing and the way I look at theatre in general. It gave me a whole community of talented artists to turn to and my play underwent an amazing metamorphosis. I came out of the whole experience with a new concept of art, collaboration, dedication, and community."

“Through WordBRIDGE the responsibility of the writer to the theatrical community is highlighted in such a way that the writer feels honored to be part of such a great group and inspired to create more honestly, more specifically, more beautifully for such people. And in doing so, the writer creates this for all, the audience, as well.”

"I had the most amazing time at WordBRIDGE Playwrights Laboratory these past two weeks. I was led into a theater Xanadu between Baltimore and the river Alph where an extremely talented group of actors, directors, dragmaturgs, resource artists, company members, and student artists helped me create from a place as foreign to me as Mount Abora to Khan. I am happy and so grateful."

“I am grateful for the hope and inspiration the lab has given me about my chosen profession… At WordBRIDGE they don’t see impossibilities and dead-ends: they see extraordinary challenges and opportunities. And what’s more, they put their own shoulders into it to keep the American stage well lit with new works.”
