ABOUT
THE ASSOCIATION
Playwrights Association of New
Zealand Inc. was formed in 1958.
The aim of the Association is to foster
the writing of plays through Playwriting Seminars, Workshops,
Competitions, Play Assessments and newsletters and to foster
links between playwright members.
The subscription period is from 1st September to 31 August.
Each member will receive a copy of the Newsletter and can have either two one-act
or one full-length play assessed annually, for a small fee.
The Association was set up primarily for New Zealanders.
