The Play’s the Thing: a four-week digital workshop for ten-minute plays

Good news:  it can be anything you want it to be!  It just has to be something.

This four-week digital workshop is committed to turning your idea into something — an actual play script.  We’ll clamp down on what we like about basic structures for a ten-minute play, and then we’ll get into the fun stuff:

• How words absolutely matter, and also how they don’t matter at all
• How your play looks with no budget, and also with an infinite budget
• How to refine your best ideas, and also how to write without a clue

There will be more covered, too, as well as opportunities to read and discuss scripts in class.
It’s gonna be a good time.  Let’s do this thing.
