<p style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:normal;color:rgb(51, 51, 51)">Did you know that some of our greatest playwrights– including David Mamet, Beth Henley, Tracy Letts, and even William Shakespeare! … began their theatrical life as actors?</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:normal;color:rgb(51, 51, 51)">Actor training is great preparation for learning how to write an exciting and original play. In this workshop, we will start by using tools from the ‘actors toolbox,’ including improvisation, scene study, and movement – to spark ideas for scenes and characters. We will then explore dramatic structure, and the art of writing believable, ‘playable’ dialogue. The workshop will end with a staged reading of scenes from your plays-in-progress.</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:normal;color:rgb(51, 51, 51)">To get the most from this workshop, students should be prepared to write both in, and out of, class.</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:normal;color:rgb(51, 51, 51)">Interviews will be held Tuesday, April 27, 7:00 – 10:00 pm.
