Web Links - You Don't Need No MFA

Worthy Quote
Mac Wellman, who shared with me his frank opinion of the purpose of graduate playwriting programs: "to replace the Bohemian communities we had in the 1960s." (Wellman heads his own graduate program at Brooklyn College). From an article by playwright Clarence Coo for the Playwright's Forum.

If the best thing about MFAs is that they help build a community of writers, what does it say about the community that they have to spend $20,000-$50,000 and take a few years out of their lives to build it? We support alternative communities without entrance fees and want to ensure that people without MFAs are not excluded from publishing. We also enjoy food, drink and good company. Feel free to join us.
