Writers Group
The 46 Minutes Writers Group is a seasonal cohort playwrights helping develop each other’s new work. Led by Gabby and Cha, our playwrights can receive feedback on their new work, get to hear their new work said out loud, and be held accountable for getting new pages and edits out.
The Writers Group meets regularly (weekly or bi-weekly) during a pre-determined period of time with 46 minute slots for that week's scheduled playwrights to use however they find most helpful. The goal is to work consistently on one project for the duration of the group.
Cohort Applications
Applications are closed for the Fall 2026 Cohort. Applications for the Spring 2027 Cohort will open in early winter 2026.
