The Dramatists Guild of America is protesting theatre critic Hedy Weiss’ reviews of eight projects in the Chicago Sun-Times a few weeks ago. “These musicals were presented in workshop. Every musical in workshop is understood to be a work in progress. Workshopping a new musical provides an opportunity for writers to evaluate their work as it evolves, protected from the consequences of critical appraisal. This security allows writers to take chances, to be bold, maybe even to embarrass themselves—in short, to do their work.”
