The Silo and the Demolition Crew
Howard Stein taught me that the enemy of the Arts is the Humanities. He was defending a wall between two free rooms. China and the United States are now knocking down the building. Howard Stein used to stand at the front of a seminar room at Columbia's Oscar Hammerstein II Center and tell a room full of playwrights that the enemy of the Arts is the Humanities. He had earned the right to say it. Eleven years at the Yale School of Drama as associate dean and head of playwriting, seven years running the playwriting program at Iowa, ten years as the first permanent chairman of the Hammerstein Center, and a lifetime spent turning young writers into working dramatists. When a man like that tells you the Humanities are the enemy, you do not argue. You wait to understand. […]https://bolesblogs.com/2026/06/26/the-silo-and-the-demolition-crew/

Danville SanRamon: Guest Opinion: What we learned after producing play written by AI. “At the heart of most plays is conflict. A series of conflicts lead to a turning point, where the protagonist experiences a transformation and the story drives toward resolution. But the AI resisted. Despite repeated revisions, it shied away from allowing conflict between characters.”

The Climate Playwriting Prize 2026 | Discover | Shakespeare's Globe
We believe that playwrights have a vital role to play in the conversation around the climate. Theatre is a space for animating audiences, forming communities, and experimenting with form; a space for processing the past, articulating the present, and imagining the future. Beyond the West End, regional and touring theatre is playing a vital role in engaging audiences.
This moment is marked by rising temperatures, escalating impacts of change on communities and ecosystems, but also by the unprecedented call to arms to storytellers at COP30 in 2025. The need for new stories that help audiences grapple with the realities and possibilities of this crisis has never been clearer.
In order to surface the breadth and diversity of new stories about this planetary moment, the Climate Playwriting Prize is an open invitation to playwrights to respond creatively to this subject matter. We are partnering with organisations all around the country to deliver workshops to writers, unlocking how they might want to tell their climate story.

I've been reading the plays and a biography of Bertolt Brecht. Such a fascinating man and story. This is a good documentary about his life in exile:

Problem: We love Markdown, but as a person with a unique use case (playwright), converting .md files into a usable format for sharing can be a hassle.
