Mature student, do I have a chance.

[Booklady]

<p>Yes, experience is a big consideration. The Yale School of Drama website says this:</p>

<p>

An applicant to the Playwriting department should submit for consideration an original play, either full-length or one-act. Adaptations and collaborations may be submitted, but are reviewed only as supplementary to original and individual work. Musical scores, tapes, and CDs of musical works may be submitted, but cannot be returned. All writing samples are not returned. Special attention is given to the applicant’s statement of purpose. The resumé should include a list of plays written and produced, as well as all other theatre experience, such as acting, directing, or positions held within the theatre. Three letters of recommendation must be submitted.
