Write the Play!

Get your creativity flowing and develop your voice as a playwright, one month at a time.

Join a structured two-hour online workshop once a month over six months.

You’ll explore techniques, get inspired, and build original scenes through prompts, guided exercises, and optional sharing.

Whether you’re starting your first script or deep into a draft, this monthly session gives you the momentum, encouragement, and clarity to keep writing.

No experience needed, just curiosity, enthusiasm, and a love of plays.

This is more than just a writing class. Over the six months you’ll connect with a community of supportive creatives, plus we’ll give you exercises to work on in the weeks between calls.
