Practical support and advice to those in the business of writing plays.
Our work to support all New Zealand playwrights is coordinated by Jean Betts and Stuart Hoar, and makes use of a raft of resources, industry knowledge, partnerships and networks.
Playmarket’s Auckland office runs a development programme for Maori and Pacific playwrights. Funded by ASB Community Trust and led by Jenni Heka, this programme acts as an advisory service and also manages a number of projects in partnership with local bodies.
