Subject: Fall Workshop: Playwriting Boot Camp!


Announcing a new Fall Workshop: 
 
PLAYWRITING BOOT CAMP
Taught by award-winning local playwright Sarah Morton 
 
Do any of these sound familiar? 
 
-You have a great idea for a play. You've talked about it to everyone you know. But when it's time to sit down
and actually write the play, you freeze. 
 
-You wrote two brilliant scenes of a new play. You got stuck on Scene 3, wrote half of Scene 4, decided the play was stupid, and stuck it 
in a drawer. 
 
-You wrote a draft of a one-act play. Then you showed it to your best friend, who said she didn't get it. You tried to write 
a second draft, but now you're blocked. 
 
-You made a New Year's Resolution to take your writing seriously.  It's now August, and you still can't find the time or energy to write. 
 
Playwriting Boot Camp is a workshop designed to help you beat the Block, outwit the Inner Critic, and defeat the myth of Not Enough Time. 
Using two simple practices-- daily discipline and radical acceptance-- participants will write a one-act play in 6 weeks. 
We will share written work each week, in a supportive setting that focuses on creative possibilities rather than 'critique.'  We will also 
set weekly goals and intentions to meet your personal needs and help you stay on track throughout the writing process. 
By the end of the workshop, you will have a finished draft of a one-act play. 
 
You want to write--- So what's stopping you??

Workshop meets on 6 consecutive Tuesday evenings: September 20-October 25, from 6:30-9:30 pm. 
in Cleveland Heights. 
 
No calisthenics required. All levels of experience are welcome. **Students must be able to attend all 6 sessions and commit to a regular writing schedule during the workshop. 
 
Investment: $160 if registered by September 9th. 
                       $ 175 after September 9th. 
Class size is very limited. If interested, please register or inquire early. 
 
To registerm  please send your name and contact info to smorton8 at aol.com,
