Civic Playwriting WHEN: Tuesdays 7:00 pm-9:30 pm; September 27th - December 13th, Plus December 11th Rehearsal (No Class on October 4th and November 29th) For thousands of years, playwrights have been bringing people together to explore what it means to be part of a particular society Whether you are brand new to writing or early in your career, this unique playwriting class will stimulate writers of all mediums who have an interest in how their words can affect and engage their community. The class begins by reviewing the basics of playwriting, exploring what it means to write a "civic play," and sampling multiple techniques for doing so. Playwrights will work on short plays outside of class, using class time to further develop their work. The class culminates in a public reading of these plays by professional actors on Luna's mainstage. Please note: This class requires approximately 2-3 hours of a week of work outside of the class hours. |
