A panel of New York playwrights who write for television examine whether their work is enhanced or compromised by working in both worlds. New York has always provided a steady stream of talent for the television industry. The recent growth of TV writing away from Los Angeles and the success of long-form TV series on networks like HBO have expanded opportunities for writers. Like actors, these writers move in both worlds--but how do they manage it?

Catherine Sheehy (Chair of Dramaturgy and Dramatic Criticism at Yale School of Drama and Resident Dramaturg at Yale Rep), will moderate a discussion featuring Diana Son (Stop Kiss/Law & Order: Criminal Intent), Itamar Moses (Bach at Leipzig/Boardwalk Empire), Matt Schatz (Oh, Gastronomy!/House of Zuck), and others.

What you need to know about the personal dimensions of how you relate to your dissertation topic, your advisor, your family and friends in order to successfully complete the doctorate.
