Playwriting Intensive I

  • Zoomed via The Barrow Group (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Thursdays from 6:30 p.m. till 9:30 p.m. for 8 Weeks

Most writing classes focus on how to write, but the question of why to write is at least equally important. The class will start with identifying and honing in on the subjects and stories that are most personal and resonant to each writer. Then the class will also explore how various forms might best suit the story you each writer wants to tell. Plays can be anything, and the supportive community of this class will help each writer create the best work they and only they are capable of.

Finding Your True Subject: How to Write the Play That Only You Can Write

Finding Your True Subject: How to Write the Play That Only You Can Write

  • Zoomed via The Barrow Group (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Mondays from 6:30 p.m. till 9:30 p.m. for 6 Weeks

As audiences, we have all sat though plays and movies wondering why the playwright has chosen this particular subject to write about. As writers, we have all struggled to approach a subject that we want to write about but can’t find our way into. Finding Your True Subject provides the tools to unlock these subjects, striving to help each writer discover what you (and only you) can bring to a subject, whether that subject is autobiographical or not. This class will assist students in identifying their true subjects and celebrating what they can uniquely bring to their stories.

Due to student demand, class has been expanded to 6 weeks. New exercises and assignments have been added!
