Playwrights for Change

Enter the Playwrights for Change Competition

Check out this year's theme:

Empathy in Action

Empathy is the ability to listen to someone and emotionally understand what other people feel, see things from their point of view, and imagine yourself in their shoes. Essentially, it is putting yourself in someone else's position without being judgmental and communicating to them that you are there for them. You are responding to them in an empathetic and understanding way.
