Workshop: “Cross-Pollination: The Art of Adapting Works for the Stage”

With Eric Schmiedl

Adaptation has been a component of western theatre since Sophocles first
dreamed of putting Oedipus on stage. And, the current success of The
Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, Fun Home, and Hamilton
indicate that theatrical adaptation is alive and well in the 21st Century.
This workshop seeks to discover the basic steps in transforming
non-theatrical works into drama for the stage. And, it’s practical! Bring
your writing utensils and your imagination! (1:45)

2:00 pm

Craft Talk: “Working with New Plays: The Director’s Perspective”

With Sarah Greywitt, Anjanette Hall, and Dale Heinen; moderated by Les
Hunter

In this craft talk, Sarah Greywitt, Anjanette Hall, and Dale Heinen address
the ways in which contemporary directors approach new plays. Presented as a
panel discussion and moderated by Les Hunter, this session provides
insights on how new work is interpreted by established collaborators.
Essential for playwrights, but open to all. (1:30)
