Alaska Writers Workshop

The Alaska Writers Workshop is a residency offering Alaskan writers the space and time to further develop a full-length play that they are currently working on. The Alaska Writers Workshop was led most recently by New Dramatist playwright Julia Izumi, who offered guided instruction and feedback on their work.
