The Echo Los Angeles Young Playwrights is a group of Los Angeles based playwrights in the early stages of their career dedicated to developing new work for the stage.
The Echo is committed to providing these evolving playwrights with the support, resources, and guidance necessary for their growth.
The EYP playwrights will attend bi-monthly meetings, hear from monthly guest artists, and have their work presented monthly by members of the Echo and the Echo Associate Company.
