Come explore the craft of the playwright in a supportive, seminar-style workshop environment. Experience the process of shaping characters, action, and conflict through weekly development of your play in process with other writers. The class culminates in a public staged-reading of your work before a live audience.
The workshop meets for three sessions: September 11, 18 and 25, with a staged reading on October 2 at 7pm.
Please note that the workshop size is very limited; regular attendance and active participation is expected.
