Short Play Festival
Taught by Gregory Fletcher
With or without playwriting experience, all are welcomed to contribute to building a short play festival, either as a playwright writing a 10-page play or simply as an actor and/or respondent to the work. Using the craft book Shorts and Briefs: a collection of short plays and brief principles of playwriting, we will workshop via Zoom once a week for 6-weeks during an agreed upon 2-hour block in the evening or weekend. The course will end with compiling a list of short play festivals around the country where your play can be submitted.
