- MON: INTRODUCTION TO PLAYWRITING
Monday, April 15 (9 AM- 4 PM) ages 11-16
This workshop will serve as an introduction to the playwriting process using games, activities, and writing exercises to spark creativity. By the end of the session, students will have developed an idea for a play and written a draft of one scene to be read aloud by the group. - TUES: STORY THEATRE
Tuesday, April 16 (9 AM- 4 PM) ages 5-10
The story is the foundation of a good play! In this workshop, students will explore the essential elements of a story: characters, setting, problem, and solution. Using their actor’s tools and a whole lot of creativity, the group will work to adapt one or more of their favorite stories for the stage. - WED: FUN WITH SHAKESPEARE
Wednesday, April 17 (9 AM- 4 PM) ages 7-14
Students will learn the rules and guidelines to successfully create scenes off the top of their heads! The session will include many favorite improv games and exercises to help students follow their impulses and think on their feet, while laughing a lot along the way. A fun day for students of all experience levels.
