Be sure to select 'Creative Writing MFA' and note your genre of interest in the text box.
At the Creative Writing Workshop (CWW), the MFA in Playwriting builds a supportive and diverse environment so students learn to make the art they want to see in the world.
We meet you where you are and help you grow into the playwright you want to be. We use innovative pedagogy to support diverse aesthetics by making a safe space to rigorously explore one’s artistic identity and work towards mastery of craft.
