After four evenings of lectures and discussions, KWG’s very first Playwriting Class has concluded, producing two new, ten-minute plays. Table readings of the plays will be the essence of this program, produced via Zoom. Harrison Young, Tennessee Dramatists Guild Representative, will set the stage (so to speak), explaining how the class was conducted and the process of shaping the plays into readiness for their premiere.

Harrison Young is the Tennessee Ambassador for the Dramatists Guild of America and the Literary Manager for the Tennessee Stage Company.  As a Theatre graduate from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville and Improvisation alum from the Peoples Improv Theater-NYC, he has performed in many comedies and new works which taught him how to write his own comedies. He recently began Next Rung Productions, a program in which he mentors a local playwright each year as they create a new play from scratch. (Our own Jeannette Brown sings the praises of his mentorship.)
