About Works in Progress

What’s your story? Folger’s Works in Progress program – hosted in partnership with and at the Hill Center at the Old Naval Hospital – is a series of workshops and a panel conversation that invite aspiring creatives in the fields of playwriting, poetry, and songwriting to create new works under the mentorship of teaching artists.  Workshop registration is open to the public. Works in Progress takes place following Folger’s weekend festival of new theatrical works inspired by Shakespeare.
