The Dramatists Guild of America recently awarded Janine Nabers, class of 2008, a Dramatists Guild Fellowship. The program is designed to augment the training of emerging American dramatists and enhance the sense of community among them, and to nurture the next generation of American dramatists. The nine-month program includes group sessions with theater professionals, one-on-one mentoring, and opportunities to become interns or observers with dramatists involved in professional productions.

“I am very excited and honored,” Nabers says as she prepares for the program beginning in September. “I’m looking forward to the opportunity to share my work with professionals, as well as with my peers, and drawing on and learning from their own experiences.”
