The Missouri Association of Playwrights, based in greater Saint Louis, is an organization devoted to developing new plays and playwrights.

In 2008 MAP celebrates its thirtieth anniversary!  Keep an eye out for our celebratory performance later this season.

MAP meetings are held each month except during the summer, generally on the third Saturday beginning at 2 p.m.  Starting in fall 2008, our meetings will take place at the Gatesworth, located at 1 McKnight Place (corner of I-170 and Delmar Boulevard in Clayton), Saint Louis, MO 63124.  (See the schedule for upcoming meeting dates.)

Each month a new play or plays are read, followed by discussion and critique.  This offers an ideal opportunity for new playwrights to hear their work aloud.  It also provides a perfect venue for actors to showcase their talents and to remain active in fostering new theatre.

Join us to participate in creating dynamic new theatre in the greater Saint Louis area (including Illinois)!  We welcome writers, actors, and directors young and old to collaborate with us.
