Writing a play is hard! They can be especially challenging when you’re writing a play for the first time, haven’t written a play in years, feeling blocked, have written short plays but haven’t written a full-length play (yet), or you’re simply craving community. That’s where the Full-Length Playwriting Challenge comes in!
As a playmaker in Westchester, I have been trying to figure out a fun and immersive way to bring my hands-on approach to a virtual setting, which is why I’m thrilled to introduce the first Let’s Make a Play Full-Length Playwriting Challenge!
Here’s How the Full-Length Playwriting Challenge Works:
From September 21st-December 21st, you will join our first virtual playwriting cohort with the goal of finishing a full-length play by December 21st. Over the course of these four months, you will be guided through a fun writing process with group and personal coaching, feedback, community, a plan for your playwriting goals, and so much more. We will celebrate with a virtual playwriting party in January where we will read your work and celebrate your amazing story!
The Full-Length Playwriting Challenge includes the following:
- Monthly group virtual check-ins
- Weekly writing prompts and reminders
- Monthly personal feedback
- Access to a group Slack channel to ask questions, plus weekly “office hours” with me
- Free digital “Let’s Make a Play” workbook
- Guidance and support to help you complete your play
- A playwriting party in January
- Access to an awesome and supportive community
- A group centered around JOY, your ideas, and your imagination
Who The Full-Length Playwriting Challenge is for:
- Someone who is writing a play for the first time
- Someone who has only written a 10-minute plays or short plays and is ready to write a longer piece
- Someone who is feeling blocked
- Someone who has multiple play ideas but isn’t able to focus
- Someone who hasn’t written a play in years
- Someone who craves community
- Someone who needs accountability and deadlines for their writing
- Someone who loves theater and has never written a play
Who The Full-Length Playwriting Challenge is NOT for:
- Someone who can’t commit to writing
- Someone who isn’t open-minded about other people’s ideas/stories
- Someone who doesn’t like to try something new
