All Activities are Hosted by the Human Race Theatre Company, Presented by the Ohio Playwrights Circle and Sponsored by the American ArtWorks Foundation.
After changes from our previous schedule, due to unforeseen circumstances, here is the new Playwrighting Class schedule for 2018. Additional activities will be scheduled for 2019 and announced here on our page.
This class is designed to take the mystery out of playwrighting. The method of building a play is explored through a variety of exercises. Our focus will be on understanding the tools in basic dramatic structure and other aspects of storytelling and the building of a play. There will be a lot of writing, a lot of thinking, some mutual support from other playwrights, a fair amount of laughing, some tasty food at breaks, and a general atmosphere of fun and learning. Each playwright will have a goal of completing work that will be presented in a public reading. Playwrights will have the opportunity to hear their work read aloud by actors and prepared by directors. The class is designed for novices and experienced playwrights, actors and directors alike. No playwrights are expected to begin the class with work already completed.
Participants: Min: 3 – Max: 8

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we regret that the dates listed for classes in 2018 are being rescheduled. Our commitment to providing comprehensive instruction and feedback is unwavering, but life sometimes has challenges that are simply unanticipated. Please check this Page over the next few weeks to find the updated schedule for the 2018-19 season.

(Two Playwrights meet in a local coffee shop.)
Passionate:
Hey. Did you hear that Oho Playwrights has changed the schedule for the rest of the year?
Absorbed:
(Tapping away on a laptop.) Yep.
Passionate:
What happened?
Absorbed:
Not sure. Something about someone getting hit by a bus or something.
Passionate:
Oh my God! Seriously??
Absorbed:
I don’t know. (Tapping away.) Stuff happens.
Passionate:
Wow. What should I do?
Absorbed:
Keep writing. I’m sure they’ll announce the schedule soon.
Passionate:
Yeah, I guess you’re right.
Absorbed:
Of course I’m right. I’m always right. (Tapping on the keys.) How’s your husband?
Passionate:
Oh my God! My Husband!! (Running out of the coffee shop.)
Absorbed:
Writers! Go figure.
