This workshop series is led by the seasoned playwright Janice Liddell, PhD, a retired English professor who discovered her passion for playwriting later in life.
The 4 week course on the basics of playwriting for seniors will cover such aspects of the art as developing the story; structuring the play; developing character(s); focusing on dialogue; imagining the set. Over the four weeks we will also watch a recording of at least one play; read and analyze the scripts of several plays (one-acts and more); as well as write our own one- or two-act play.
To culminate the four-week session, we will host a community gathering where each of the playwrights will enjoy a staged reading of his or her play.
ArtsXchange is excited to create an opportunity for seasoned writers to delve into the art of playwriting.
