What is the Playwrights’ GYM?

The Playwrights’ GYM is Dobama Theatre's professional playwriting unit. Members of the Playwrights’ GYM meet monthly throughout the season to share new pages and offer helpful feedback on new works early in their development. Dobama Theatre also provides GYM members with resources that may include rehearsal space, full-length readings that are open to the public, social media marketing, and our annual GYM Shorts event. The goal of the Playwrights’ GYM is to nurture new work in a safe environment and provide some of the “exercise” equipment needed to develop new plays by these Cleveland-area writers.
