Theatre for Veterans began as a free playwriting class in 2021, and grew into a national community of talented writers, always raising the bar for themselves while showing up to support each other.
Classes & Workshops
Propel New Works offers free playwriting & screenwriting classes for military veterans and current servicemembers with access to video conferencing. Those who wish to stick around after completing our classes can join our bi-monthly writers’ group. All writing abilities are welcome. Classes are facilitated by founder Angeline Larimer, who pushes writers to their next level.
Propel New Works continues to support the development of new work by Veterans, with plans to keep on growing.
*We are offering our first screenwriting class from June - August 2025, every other Thursday from 8 - 9:30 pm EST.
Stay tuned for more opportunities to participate in the screenwriting class.

Participants study the fundamentals of playwriting, which includes how to write an industry-standard playscript.
