PLAY WRITTING

Play Writing will be hosted this Wednesday in the Little Theater during Free Period.

If you need a place to help you concentrate on your writing, workshop your material, have a piece read aloud, or try to learn how to get started this is a great opportunity for all of those.

Clay took a class on Play Writing with Casey last semester and has a textbook filled with short exercises to help teach you some fundamentals. This isn't a class in any way, just a place and time to provide you with what you think will work best for you!

ALSO DON'T FORGET- if you are interested in directing in Shakespeare in the Courtyard, please speak to Clay Thompson.
