The CRY HAVOC Workshop

Since its inception, CRY HAVOC has held regular workshop sessions for our community of artists to practice its craft. It is where our development approach was honed, and where many of our artists first joined our community. Utilizing the Workshop model, we are excited to be reimaginging our programming to center on Playwriting Residencies, and we are reflecting on the best way to keep standalone workshop sessions part of our slate of events.

Playwriting Residencies

CRY HAVOC is centering our programming around a keystone of Playwriting Residencies. Through a series of moderated workshop sessions utilizing the CRY HAVOC approach to play development, we provide a community rich in artists devoted to and practiced in the development of new work to support the playwright in bringing their script closer to their goals. The residencies culminate in a public presentation of the work. Do you have a play you’d like to workshop through a residency with us? Check out our development approach HERE. If that sounds like the kind of process you’re excited about, please fill out our residency inquiry form below. We will also be periodically putting out calls for residency submissions.

PlayList

PlayList is a short play development series launched in 2023 wherein a cohort of playwrights are selected to write new 10 minute plays inspired by creative prompts linked by a theme. Over the course of several moderated feedback sessions with our community of artists and invited guests, playwrights complete the project with a rigorously crafted, submission-ready short play, culminating in a public presentation of the work.

Apprentice Program

We are excited to be transitioning our Apprentice Program to an integrated part of our residencies, rather than an independent program. We love working with early-career artists, and over the years our Apprentice Program has introduced us to dozens of artists who have become valued members of our community. We hope that the new version of the program will give participants a deep-dive experience with new play development, as well as allow us to continue meeting the next generation of theater-makers.
