NEW CYT Class – Collaborative Playwriting for Actors!

Posted on January 7, 2012 by admin

We’ve had such a good time with CYT Houston (Christian Youth Theater) that I’ve signed on to teach a class next session – Collaborative Playwriting for Actors (see below for description)! The class will meet on Thursdays from 6:30-8:30 at the Spring/Woodlands location, beginning February 23rd. Registration will open in a week or so at www.cythouston.org. Spread the word! Tell your friends!

Collaborative Playwriting for Actors

Learn playwriting fundamentals, including structure, plot, dialogue, setting, theme, scene development, and format, as you collaborate with the class to create a One Act Play. Comedy? Drama? Musical? Happy? Sad? Funny? You decide! From concept to staging, you will work together to create a finished project to perform for our showcase. The class will feature a mixture of interactive discussions, brainstorming, writing exercises, and staging/performing what you write. You will immediately try your hand at what you learn. Some writing will be done in class, but you will be expected to work on your scenes at home, as well. Students will also be encouraged to write and revise a monologue for your own One-Man (or One-Woman) show.
