Hosted by the Playwrights' Center Membership Team, Hannah Joyce and Alayna Jacqueline, Theater Begins Here is a podcast exploring topics, questions, and experiences in playwriting and theater making. We believe that theater can begin in many places for many people. Join us as we invite playwrights, dramaturgs, and theater makers to navigate your questions with us. 

We invite Playwrights' Center members to submit questions (see below) and engage with our international playwriting community, special guests, and hosts.
