"I live in upstate New York and don’t have much interaction with theater professionals. So I didn’t know what to expect when Ken Wolf, at Manhattan Rep, became my playwright coach. He helped me with an already fully written comedy and I immediately realized that it was time to “buckle my seat belt”. I looked forward to every phone session and Ken was a genius at prodding me to “take it a step further” but didn’t hesitate to yank me back when I went too far. “What if...” still rings in my ears from those priceless phone calls as my play morphed into an even funnier and tighter play. Now I feel comfortable submitting my play to theaters outside my region. And I can’t wait to work with Ken again. NEW MOTTO: WORK CAN ALSO BE FUN.”
- Laura Cunningham, I’m Not Dead Yet! -
“I hired Ken as my playwriting coach after hearing several episodes of his “The Playwriting Podcast.” We worked together for ten weeks. Ken provided a simple, encouraging, and stress free process with gentle nudges along the way. Due to his experience with writing several scripts and also helping a ton of people write, edit, and produce plays, it is clear he knows how to guide playwrights to create an exciting product that looks great on stage. When we started my musical, I only had a list of characters, one scene, and three songs written. Ten weeks later, my musical was done. Ken coached me through writing a 100-page script with 16 songs, and I completed two full edits. His final words were, “It’s ready for production. Go do it!” Even though I know the playwriting process now and am confident I can do it alone, I would consider using Ken for a future project because, with Ken’s help, I know I’d finish it fast and fabulous. Worth every dollar.”

It’s time to finally write that play!
"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."
