The Writers' Room NYC is a free, Manhattan-based live workshop that allows local writers to hear their work-in-process performed before a live audience, while connecting them with fellow writers, actors, and audiences. We strive to create a space that allows writers and actors to hone their craft and build the meaningful connections that will catapult them towards their goals, while also providing a fun night of performance and art for theaters lovers.
