CLASSES

FIVE WEEKS TO A FIRST DRAFT

Beginning September 30th

The sold-out class is back! Join me for a whirlwind playwriting workshop. We'll propel ourselves through a series of prompts, timed exercises, and madcap ideas and come out with a rock-and-roll first draft before the end of the year. This class is designed to help you step into the strangest, funniest, scariest, wildest parts of your brain and find the play that only you can write. Taught over Zoom.

Sliding Scale Available.

THE ART OF REVISION

Beginning October 8th

Have a messy first draft and want a supportive, energizing class to help you rewrite it? In this class you will hone your first impulses without losing what makes them beautiful and weird and wild. We will rewrite through the lens of character, structure, dialogue, design, and impulse. Taught over Zoom.

Sliding Scale Available.

WRITING THE PLAY THAT ONLY YOU CAN WRITE

Hudson Valley Writers Center

What is your favorite play? Does it feel like it arrived fully formed from the brain of its author? Does reading it make you feel like you know that person even if you've never met? That's because the best plays are created when writers are honest about what makes them scared, and joyful, and ashamed, and excited (often all at the same time.) The best plays are created when we excavate our brains and write honestly about the wild things we find there. In this workshop, I will lead you through a series of exercises--list making, free writing, and world building--until you you find yourself writing the play that only you can write.
