Ever wanted to write a play? Got a little time on your hands? Push that dream forward in a 10-week playwriting workshop. We’ll meet weekly, discuss the basics of playwriting, and share excerpts of developing scripts. If you’ve never written a play before, this is a good way to get started. If you’ve got a script in the works, but no one to share it with, here’s a writer’s group ready to listen and respond supportively. Do you find (like most playwrights) that nothing motivates you like a deadline? We’ll provide that, too. Join us and start working on that play you’ve always wanted to write.
