For every lit marquee, there is a writer (or team of writers) brave enough to dream up a story worthy of inspiring countless theatre lovers. Some scripts or scores take years, even decades of development before actors and creative teams bring them to life, and every beloved character began with an idea.

Join the Dramatists Guild for this session as we lift the curtain behind the mystery: how theatre writers get paid on Broadway!
