National Playwriting Month is approaching, and that means it's time for End of Play.®, the Dramatists Guild's annual month-long writing challenge for Playwrights, Composers, Lyricists, and Librettists. Guild staff members Lily Dwoskin and Jordan Stovall stop by to tell us about their work at the Guild and all things End of Play.®.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What End of Play.® is and who can participate (Hint: anyone and everyone!)
• How working at the Guild helped Lily become a better advocate for her own work
• How the pandemic has changed the way drag & musical theatre are created & consumed
