About
Both a playwright-driven service organization and a theatrical producing company, Austin Script Works was founded to:
- Create a home for dramatic writers that stimulates imagination
- Develop new dramatic works to their fullest potential and feed them into the local and national markets
- Produce and encourage the production of new work that lends dignity to the playwright’s vision
- Network and enhance the visibility of the diverse community of playwrights in the Central Texas area
Austin Script Works Philosophy
Austin Script Works exists to support dramatic writers by providing opportunities at all stages in the writing process — from inception through production. ASW supports the whole writer, not just an isolated project, and dedicates itself to career advancement as well as artistic growth. Committed to high artistic standards, ASW seeks to protect the writer’s integrity by encouraging playwright initiative and harnessing collective potential.
