Donate to The Welders

The Welders is a DC-based playwrights’ collective that provides an evolving, alternative platform for play development and production.

Our Mission

Through our platform, we inspire and encourage each cohort of producing playwrights to:

• Take risks and make bold leaps in exploring the craft of playwriting
• Produce one performance of work created by each member playwright over the course of three years
• Create significant, meaningful, direct engagement between artists and members of the community
• Support future generations of DC-area playwrights, by passing on the organization and its resources to a new cohort of playwrights at the end of their tenure
