New Dramatists, based in New York City, is a performing arts organization dedicated to supporting playwrights. Founded in 1949, it offers a seven-year residency for a cohort of around fifty resident writers, providing time, space, and resources to develop their craft at no charge. The program emphasizes sustained development through a continuous peer community of writers who guide their own projects and timelines. The organization positions itself as a national leader in playwright support and advocacy, providing an artistic home that includes two theatres, a classroom, a manuscript library of works by residents and alumni, a private writing studio, and on-site residence rooms for visiting writers. Its residency model prioritizes writer-led processes, empowering playwrights to choose collaborators and set work plans across seven years. In August 2023, Christie Brown was appointed executive director to lead the organization.
