Welcome to the Playground!

PlayGround is a new YDC project aimed at increasing the number of new plays produced at Yale, especially work by current undergraduate students. Playwrights such as Bobby Lopez (who wrote Avenue Q), Daniel Beaty (work includes Resurrection and Emergence-See), Quiara Alegria Hudes (book writer for In the Heights), and many other successful playwrights all produced their own work on this very campus while they were undergrads -- you should too!

This is an online catalog of excerpts from new work by young playwrights with the goal of sharing them with directors on campus and outside of the Yale community. If you would like your work to be included in the PlayGround New Play Database, please pdf your play and use this form to post it
