Washington playwrights struggle to be heard
Theaters need actors and directors. They need stagehands, wardrobe supervisors and lighting technicians. And, of course, spectators.
But they do not need playwrights. Libraries are lousy with scripts, many conveniently free from copyright. These are called “classics” or “revivals,” although Harry Bagdasian, who ran the District’s New Playwrights Theatrefrom 1972 to 1984, has a more pungent term: “used plays.”
Writing for the stage is “one of the few jobs where you’re constantly competing with dead men who get more work than we do,” says Karen Zacarias , who is among the area’s more successful playwrights. Zacarias’s work has been produced at 10 local theaters, and she’s one of the few D.C. dramatists with a professional position: She’s the only local among five playwrights in residence at Arena Stage’s American Voices New Play Institute .
There are other area playwrights who’ve been widely produced, including Allyson Currin , Renee Calarco , Ernest Joselovitz and Gwydion Suilebhan . Many more are waiting offstage.
Currin calls Washington “a hotbed of new play development,” but that doesn’t mean that local writers’ work makes it to the largest stages, either here or elsewhere. In addition to the competition from “dead men,” area playwrights generally haven’t established strong individual voices. Instead, they’re known for versatility, moving between adult plays and the “young audiences” fare that’s a more reliable source of work.
Rich Amada , a Washington-Baltimore regional representative for the Dramatists Guild, says the organization has “in the neighborhood of 150 area members.” The DC Playwrights Facebook Group — created last year by Suilebhan because “there was just no sense of the vibrancy and diversity of the voices in the city” — has 200 members.
