The Playwright’s Collection
Six shirts for people who live in scripts, stage directions, and second drafts. Written by a working playwright, for the writers, directors, and theater people who will actually get the joke.
The Collection
Six Shirts, First Run
I Write in Courier New
The font every first draft is written in.
A shirt for the writer who still drafts on Courier New, the steady monospaced typewriter font behind decades of scripts.
$28
Beat.
The stage direction every playwright leans on.
One word, one period, the direction actors wait for and writers type more than any other.
$26
Still Workshopping This Line
For the draft that will not stop changing.
Every writer knows a line that has been rewritten a dozen times and still is not right.
$28
Kill Your Darlings, Not Your Deadlines
Cut the line, keep the date.
The oldest advice in writing, paired with the one thing every playwright actually has to hit.
$28
Every Exit Is an Entrance Somewhere Else
A line worth wearing.
A quiet nod to the literary tradition every playwright studies and borrows from, printed clean and simple.
$26
Dramatis Personae: It’s Complicated
The cast list nobody asked for.
Every script opens with a list of characters, and every writer’s actual cast of people is more tangled than any program note could capture.
$28
