New Dramatists is an organization of playwrights in New York City who participate in seven-year residencies to build up their skills and career. The organization was opened in New York City's Theater District in 1949. In addition to housing resident playwrights, New Dramatists also holds workshops for young authors. The organization hosts an annual luncheon at which actors and producers who have made contributions to American theatre are honored. Brian Stokes Mitchell, Glenn Close, and Meryl Streep are among past honorees.
