This one-day workshop, hosted by the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, will take us through the process of writing a short play. Starting with writing exercises to help us learn about how a play works, we will compose, collaboratively workshop, revise and then perform a staged reading of our own short plays. Beyond our writing, we will also discuss playwriting in the American theatre. What do playwrights do? How do new plays get produced? Make sure to bring a notebook, pencil and your imagination! Ages 12-18.
