A few months ago, I accepted the position of Regional Youth Ambassador for the Dramatists Guild of America. "What the heck is a Regional Youth Ambassador???" you might find yourself wondering. "What shall I have for lunch?" might be another question bouncing around in your head. Regardless the query, here's the deal.
The Dramatists Guild of America is implementing a new program called The Young Ambassador Program, which is essentially a program geared towards getting younger writers involved in the Guild. As a Regional Youth Ambassador, my job is to assist our Regional Representative, Duane Kelly in creating programs and events that both interest and help young playwrights. The program is in its infancy, so there is much brainstorming to be done. Duane and I are already at work, but seeing as how the Young Ambassador Program is being tailored to all of you young artists out there, we want to hear from you! If you have any ideas about programs you'd like to see or any prospective events that make you all tingly inside, please EMAIL ME or comment below. I'll leave you with a few questions to ponder and to get a conversation going! What kinds of programs might interest you? Writing groups? Showcases? Theatre and writing workshops? Something else? As young artists, which kinds of information do you find to be most valuable or helpful? Which kinds of information are not? Are there any upcoming events that interest you? What kind of events would you like to see occurring and to be apart of? In which ways, do you feel unsupported/Are there any areas in which you could use more support? Your voices are the most important and valuable assets we have, so let's use them. Thank you so much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you and getting the ball rolling on this exciting new program!
