The Master Playwright Series was developed in 2007 as part of Dramaworks' educational initiative. Every season three playwrights are examined, with two segments devoted to each playwright. The first segment is an overview of the playwright's life and work, and a presentation of scenes from that playwright's works. The second segment is a staged reading of one of that playwright's important plays. In addition to the readings, the audience will be invited to discuss the work and themes.

Young theatre artists participate as directorial assistants. The students work side by side with a professional director to research and prepare each of the presentations.
