MFA PLAYWRITING PROGRAM at CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA, WASHINGTON, DC
Catholic University of America is accepting applications for their MFA Playwriting Program, headed by award-winning playwright Jon Klein. This is the only MFA program in playwriting in the theatre-rich Washington, DC area - and with over 80 theatres in residence, there are many opportunities for professional internships, readings and productions available to graduate students. Previous and current playwrights have had such opportunities at Arena Stage, Woolly Mammoth, Roundhouse Theatre, Theatre J, the DC Fringe Festival, and many more.
Other benefits of the program include access to the American College Theatre Festival, where CUA students have won major awards for each of the last several years, and access to the Kendeda Graduate Playwriting Competition, in which an unprecedented two students were honored as finalists this year!
We also offer the opportunity for each student to have their thesis play fully produced, and directed by a professional director from the DC theatre community, in their final year.
Last but certainly not least, we are able to offer two full tuition fellowships for the three year program. The deadline to submit an application isJanuary 30!

You may also wish to peruse a recent list of CUA playwriting students and alumni, which can be found on my website at this page: http://www.jon-klein.com/catholic-university-mfa.html.
