Playwrighting/Creative Writing Tutor
by Tim Collingwood 06 Jan '21

06 Jan '21

Even amid these trying times, there is still creativity within us. As an emerging playwright, I can help you find your voice in your written work. I can encourage you to explore beyond what you have already explored in your work. I can offer constructive feedback to develop your work further, based on goals you have for the play, short story, and novel you are writing. If the work just needs to be read by someone else, I can offer that as well. Fleshing out your literary voice and encouraging it to grow is important to me. If you would like to be tutored, please respond to this email. Sessions can be made on Zoom, Jitsi, or Facebook video through Messenger. $15/session, sliding scale as necessary. Once a session is set up, details to pay will be discussed, as well as developing a shared agreement that supports your writing with your needs with my skills to mentor your work as you need. Tim Collingwood is a local actor, playwright, writer, and stage manager in the Cleveland area. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre and English from Cleveland State University in 2010. His plays have been workshopped at Cleveland Public Theatre in their Entry Point series in 2019 and Leap/Conceive series in 2012, Talespinner Children’s Theatre’s PLAYground series in 2019, the Manhattan Project: Cleveland in 2017, OddyTheatreLab in 2011 . He is a member of Cleveland Public Theatre’s Dark Room monthly workshops. From 2015-2016, he was a member of Ensemble Theater’s Stagewrights program. He has written articles for Howlround on disability justice in theatre in 2019 and 2017 and has an essay in the recently published book Diversity, Inclusion, and Representation in Contemporary Dramaturgy: Case Studies From the Field.

THE WESTERN RESERVE PLAYHOUSE IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE: AUDITIONS FOR *FRAGMENTS OF FARCE:* *A Night of Comedic Sketches by Anton Chekhov* A virtual production with WRP Connect By Anton Chekhov Directed by August Scarpelli *From a man whose speech about the evils of tobacco turns into a complaint about his overbearing wife; to a man and a widow whose argument over money turns into a duel to the death, and also falling in love; and with a finale of an aged stage actor and a servant discussing the life of theatre, these comedies about the errors of being human are sure to brighten up this dreary winter. All performed in one night, “On the Harmful Effects of Tobacco,” “The Bear,” and “The Swan Song” by Anton Chekhov will run about an hour.* We are looking for a diverse group of actors to portray these characters and bring these stories to life virtually. This show will encourage fluidity in gender, race, and age. *Virtual auditions* will be held via Zoom on *Thursday, 1/14/2021 *from 7pm-10pm and *Saturday, 1/16/2021 *from 1pm-4pm.
