From Story to Stage Playwriting Workshop

Date:  Dec 3

Format:  Virtual (Zoom Meeting)

Time:  1-4 PM

Class Size:  12  
Grade Level: 9th-12th grade

This workshop (part of our Raising Writers curriculum) will be held virtually via Zoom Meeting. Students will be sent the link the week of the class. The class meeting is Dec 3 from 1-4 PM via Zoom.  

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to tell a story for the stage. Try your hand at writing dialogue, creating colorful characters, and developing a dramatic narrative. Whether you’re a practiced playwright or you’ve never written a play before, you’ll get the opportunity to build your skills and share your work in a fun, supportive environment. Students will work with their instructor with the intent of submitting a one-act play for consideration for the City Opera House’s Young Playwrights Festival.

Registration is open to students throughout northern Michigan.
