Hi! Happy Holidays everyone! Here's my 2024 in review.
I made a living this year! A modest living-- So like imagine an overworked non profit level salary but take the overwork part away. It's not really the kind of money you want to make as a 47-year-old man with a preteen child at home but I was able to be only a playwright all year because my wife brought home the health insurance.
This year I wrote one one-act play, one full length play, one graphic novel adaptation, one feature film script, and am a third of the way through another feature.&nb ..read more

Q: Tell me about Methods in Madness and Polly, a dumbshow for smart people desperate to survive the fallout.
A: Methods in Madness is an interdisciplinary “salon” investigating the connection between mental health and creativity. It grew out of research I began two years ago into a growing mental health crisis plaguing the Black community. I was interested in interrogating the ways this largely silent struggle specifically impacts artists and chose to look at four 20th ..read more

I have a new play opening in NYC Oct 30. Come if you can.
Jane's father, an "important" writer, has just died by suicide, and Jane goes home to her small town to deal with the aftermath. Jane is a professor and writer of spicy romance, and as she meets new possibilities and old loves, she narrates all her sexual longings as she struggles to deal with the grief from her father's death and the feeling that he deserted her a long time ago. Thin Duke/Sparkplug Productions present Adam Szymkowicz's world premiere.

Hometown:
I was born near the beach in Glenelg, South Australia. I still live in South Australia, but now in the Adelaide Hills with my husband, three daughters, two oodle dogs and two cats. We have been renovating a rambling old Tudor home for the past eight years, and I imagine we will never finish, but that's ok, because I love it, it makes me think of Shakespeare, so it's a very inspirational place to write.
Q: What are you working on now?
A: I am currently on long service leave after 21 years of Drama teaching. I am trying to use my time ..read more

Q: Tell me about Dirty Laundry.
A: I found out the day my mom died that my dad had been having an affair for six years. So I wrote about it.
Q: What else are you working on now?
A: I'm adapting a New Yorker short story into a feature film with my writing partner, Gillian Robespierre. I'm also working on a couple projects about marriage. And also a play about my maternal grandmother, a Jewish woman who went into hiding in a convent during WWII. She was dressed as a nun. Unfo ..read more

Current Town: New York City, NY.
Q: What are you working on now?
A: I’m currently involved in several exciting projects. One of them is Under The Sheet, a new musical I composed that blends Hip-Hop, Rap, Mariachi, and Aztec music with Broadway elements. It recently debuted at Green Room 42, The Dramatist Guild Foundation, and IRT Theatre.
I’m also thrilled about AREA D, a Palestinian Pop/Punk musical that I’m developing. AREA D emerged from a playful idea to shake up the musical theater scene and experiment with ble ..read more

Q: What are you working on now?
A: I’m currently finishing up a western melodrama for schools with an optional dinner theatre component called Spaghetti Western: Or…Mission Im-Pasta-ble at the Hoot N Holler Hotel. It’s silly fun, and my first time playing around with the melodrama genre. I love the challenge of using the stock characters and storylines in a new and different way.

Practical and Impractical Advice on the Art of Playwriting
ADAM SZYMKOWICZ
Adam Szymkowicz is that rarest of things: a working playwright. At a time when the entire business model of American theatre seems on the verge of implosion—and most dramatists survive only through soul-sucking day jobs, the largesse of patrons or their own families, or writing for television—Szymkowicz has carved out a distinctive ..read more
