This workshop teaches a highly successful method of writing a ten-minute play. Although the workshop is designed for first-time playwrights, many people have taken it several times. In Part 1, the instructors assist the participants in selecting play topics that are likely to be successful and producible. Once the participants have selected their story and characters, the instructors encourage and guide the participants as they complete their first drafts. Classes consist of reading the plays as they have been written so far with supportive class feedback. This is a nine-class course. Participants are expected to enroll in Parts 1, 2, and 3. Note: This course begins at 10:00 am.
