"It is a place to dare, to explore, to throw caution to the wind and pursue avenues you never would have stumbled upon on your own. To have so many resources at your disposal - research teams, psychologists, story-tellers, improv artists, designers - WordBRIDGE is truly a gift to the open-minded playwright."
- George Brant, WB 07, 08 |

| ...between the dream and the craft... |
"I am grateful for the hope and inspiration the lab has given me about my chosen profession... At WordBRIDGE they don't see impossibilities and dead-ends: they see extraordinary challenges and opportunities. And what's more, they put their own shoulders into it to keep the American stage well lit with new works."
- Erik Ramsey, WB 96, 97, 02, 07, 08

"The focus of the program was upon the development of the play without the pressures of critics, the press, and the public at large. [WordBRIDGE] created a nurturing, supportive environment for playwrights, a haven of artistic freedom, a place to renew one's artistic ideals, and a laboratory to freely experiment with dramatic forms."
- Keith Huff, WB 94 |
...between the mind and the artists
that make the dreams reality... |
"Through WordBRIDGE the responsibility of the writer to the theatrical community is highlighted in such a way that the writer feels honored to be part of such a great group and inspired to create more honestly, more specifically, more beautifully for such people. And in doing so, the writer creates this for all, the audience, as well."
- S. Lucia Del Vecchio, WB 00, 02
|
| ...a bridge between your play and the world... |
"My play may have been well-wrought at WordBRIDGE. But it is even truer to say that my experience at WordBRIDGE has wrought me into a real, live playwright."
- Marisa Wegrzyn, WB 01, 02 |

| ...that bridge is WordBRIDGE. |
