Do you have a story that would make an interesting monologue? You can make a performance piece based on your own personal experiences. Each participant will create a short solo-performance piece that will be presented informally at the final class. The course will deal with dramatic structure and writing for performance and look at other solo performance artists’ scripts as a reference tool. This course is intended for adults only.

Playwrighting Workshop!

Playwrighting Workshop with Chris Newbound
6 sessions, Tuesdays, 6-8pm
March 3, 10, 17, 31 & April 7, 14
58 Union Street, BSC Mainstage

Aimed at mixed abilities from complete novice to more experienced writers, this playwrighting workshop will explore the art of writing a one-act play, the goal being for each class participant to complete a one act play of their own by the end of the workshop. We will also be reading a few selected texts aloud in class by more established playwrights who have excelled at the form, hopefully to inspire and instruct. Students must be willing to “act” (read aloud) in other people’s plays.

Tuition: $200 – To enroll or for additional information, please contact Cynthia Quiñones at 413-499-5446 x 118
