Playwrighting Level 2

Playwrights listening to their new work being read.

This class is a continuation of the learning in Playwrighting Level I, and is taught by Michael London.

Although we will still be looking closely at the dramatic structure of the story, we will also focus attention on 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 a short one-act play 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.

Submissions Workshop

 

As writers we are not always great at focusing on the business of writing.  In fact, we often stink at it.  We often avoid anything but the writing.  As a playwright, our works are not produced if we don’t get them out there for others to read, hear, and evaluate.

This workshop series is about getting your work produced. Playwrights should come to the workshop with one or more completed play.  We will explore treatments, a pitch, format, what not to do, where and when to submit, creating submissions lists and generally getting organized in order to do what many of us just don’t get around to doing well enough.  It doesn’t stop with the writing.

(4 workshop meetings) Saturday November 23 – December 14, 2019

(10am – 1pm) – Burnell Roberts Room, Metropolitan Arts Center, 126 North Main Street, Dayton, Ohio 45402
