2023 Playwrights – Gasworks Script Lab

Organic Perfume Magic Logo

2023 marked the inaugural year of the Gasworks Script Lab playwriting program.

MWT partnered with Gasworks Arts Park to present this program,  which offers streams for Emerging and Mid-Career playwrights.

The program commenced in July and culminates in a series of Showcase Events. Details of the scripts to be presented at these events are listed at the bottom of this page. For photos and details from the Showcase Nights held at Gasworks in October, please visit our main program page.

Thank you to all of our playwrights for the creativity and energy they brought to this year’s program. Some wonderful new writing was produced! Our 2023 Playwrights are shown below.

 

 

 

The Facilitators for 2023 were playwright and teacher Michael Olsen (Emerging stream) and playwright and MWT Resident Director Elizabeth Walley (Mid-Career stream).  The Program Coordinator was Clare Mendes, who is a playwright, producer and the Company Manager of MWT.
