Playwriting

Fall Semester | Oct. 14 - Nov. 11

Wednesdays | 4:30 - 5:20pm

Grades 5th-12th

ONLINE - VIA ZOOM

In this 5 week class, craft compelling stories and build your own theatrical worlds through this playwriting workshop for aspiring writers, actors and lovers of theatre. Using writing prompts and other interactive games and activities, students will learn to write dialogue, set scenes, create characters and communicate emotions through expressive language. Students will create their own monologues and get to rewrite the end of a play. *Since this class will be taught through Zoom, participants will need to have access to email, a reliable internet connection, as well as paper and pencils for the in class writing exercises.

Online Policy:

If you have technical difficulties the day of (i.e trouble logging into zoom, internet issues etc.) we ask that you provide proof of the issue by taking a screenshot of the error code, connectivity issues etc. Youtheatre will determine on a case by case basis if you are eligible for a refund. The more proof you provide the better your eligibility. Please note that if you're enrolled in a multi-day program such as a class or camp, full refunds will not be given, but rather a pro-rated one if we find you are eligible. We will not provide refunds due to technical difficulties without PROOF. Appeals can be emailed to admin@fortwayneyoutheatre.org
