Dramatists Play Service
Three of David's plays have been published by Dramatists Play Service via Broadway Licensing
“Having greatly enjoyed David Goldsmith’s work as a lyricist/librettist for years, it is a pleasure to now have these three previously unpublished plays available, courtesy of Dramatists Play Service. A great addition to your library, and to our American stage.”
Stephen Flaherty
"David Goldsmith understands the power of theater at its core – how narrative, character, and the dramatic form can tell stories that have deep impact on audiences. His writing is filled with intelligence, nuance, and humor, and he bravely tackles subjects that are pressing in our world."
Diane Paulus
“The talented David Goldsmith was part of the team that helped me bring my play, Motown the Musical, to Broadway where it earned four Tony nominations. I admired his talent, creativity and sensitivity to the Motown legacy and I’m proud to see him now contribute to the storied tradition of the Dramatists Play Service.”
Berry Gordy
“David Goldsmith has been, at various times in my life, an advisor, confidant, and a friend, all while honing his craft as one of America’s most exceptional living lyricists and librettists. If you haven’t heard of him until now there is no better place to start than these three astonishingly varied plays, graciously furnished by Dramatists Play Service. Let the feast begin.”
Kevin McCollum
“Throughout his body of work, David Goldsmith is a writer of remarkable range and power, with a simple throughline that connects it all: intelligence and excellence.”
