With Ken Wolf,

Artistic Director, Manhattan Rep, Off-Broadway Producer and Director, Playwriting Coach

Are you ready to elevate your playwriting to new heights and see your work brought to life on stage?

With Premiere Playwriting Coaching, you’ll receive personalized, on-going, expert guidance from Ken Wolf, an accomplished playwright, Off-Broadway director, and producer with over 35 years of experience in the theatre.

"Ken is a wonderful, gentle coach who will support you at every step of the creative process. Writing can be an incredibly isolating, solitary pursuit. Without having someone to interact with your work and hold you accountable to deadlines, it can feel as if you aren't making the progress you should be. My decision to work with Ken feels like a meaningful investment in myself and my play. Ken's long-term professional experience in acting, writing and producing makes him an excellent resource to you. He has the capacity to view your work from many different lenses and provide you with advice that best helps convey your story and makes it viable for production. Not to mention, he is seriously passionate about your work and will treat it with the utmost kindness as he challenges you to take it further. All in all, I am very happy with my decision to work with Ken."

Claudia Wasielewska - Playwright

Whether you’re a seasoned playwright looking to break through a creative block or a newcomer eager to get your first draft on the page, I offer the personal attention, accountability, and professional experience you need to take your work to the next level.

When you book a script consultation, you will receive:

  • Detailed and constructive notes on your play, scene by scene, moment by moment.

  • Clarity on what is working and what is not, grounded in real world theatre production experience.

  • My Final Comments and Next Steps: Clear and actionable guidance on what to rewrite, refine, or reimagine in order to bring your play to life.

If your play is not quite working yet, you are not alone. Most plays that struggle on the page are actually very close to being powerful pieces of theatre. They simply need a few key adjustments. In my new two hour class, How to Fix Your Play, I reveal the core elements that almost every successful play has and show you how to identify exactly what may be missing in your play or what needs to be taken out of your script, so you can FIX YOUR PLAY.

By the end of this class, you will walk away with a simple and powerful way to diagnose the real issues in your play and a clear path to make it stronger, sharper, and more compelling for the stage. If you have a play that feels almost there but not quite working yet, this class may be exactly what you need to turn that draft into a play that truly comes alive in front of an audience.

Complete Your Play in a Day

A One Day Zoom Personal Intensive to Finish Your Rehearsal Draft

You have a first draft. You know the beginning, middle, and end.

But the play is still not finished. Scenes are missing. Problems are unresolved. The script lives in that uncomfortable place called “almost done.”

This Intensive is designed to end that.

In one focused day, with a professional director and playwright in your corner, you will complete a strong rehearsal draft of your full length play or solo show. Not someday. Not eventually. In one day.

Only four playwrights per month are accepted.

Get some professional feedback on your 10 minute play or short play.
