Description
Back by popular demand! Our annual ten-minute playwriting course – this year taught by professional playwright and teacher Catherine Rush.
This two-session, 8-hour course is for new and seasoned playwrights alike. Students will learn and experiment with the core fundamentals of playwriting while focusing on the ten-minute play format. A series of prompts, each designed to unlock the creative writer within, will support you in your journey toward creating specific, colorful characters, unique and engaging circumstances, and compelling, insightful stories. In our second class there will be time to discuss what you’ve been creating in the interim and any problems or concerns that have arisen. You will be given the opportunity to have fellow writers read your work aloud and the option to receive feedback if you so desire.
Class size is limited to 10 so that each student receives personal attention.
This course is perfect for anyone who wants to submit a play for Island Theatre’s 2025 Ten-Minute Play Festival, learn the fundamentals of playwriting, or brush up their playwriting skills.
