The term playmaker has roots in Elizabethan England, but it came into popular usage in the United States with the emergence, early in the twentieth century, of the American folk drama a theatre that sprang from and spoke directly to the lives of its audience. This movement achieved its most influential voice with the founding of the Carolina Playmakers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. PlayMakers Repertory Company, the Department of Dramatic Art's professional theatre, has embraced this legacy from its inception in 1975. Our purpose is to provide a top-quality public arena for the professional implementation of the philosophy and aesthetics explored in the Department. Through the collaboration of guest artists, resident professionals, students and audiences, we examine the theatrical event and the methods used for its realization in contemporary performance. We explore playmaking in our time.
