Summary

Calling all Sci-Fi, Horror, and Geek Theatre Writers!

Have you ever been told that you "Couldn't Do That" on-stage? That your script was more of a screenplay than a play, although you think it would be best on-stage, and you want to know how to make it more theatrical? Are you interested in creating interdisciplinary work that begins with a basic text?

Come play with us this summer in a six-week writing workshop that will focus on the strange, weird, geek, off-the-wall writing that thrills you. Every writer will have an opportunity to share their work every week or so, depending upon the final class enrollment. Writers are welcome to bring in both new pages and ongoing work.

Requirements for this Class

Students should have written at least the first 15 pages of a new play that is genre/geek theatre/hybrid/off-the-wall work.

Expectations for this Class

Full participation both in terms of sharing work and providing feedback.

After Completion of Class

By the end of the semester, students will have a stronger toolbox to help them write dynamic pieces that embrace a wide range of theatricality and theatrical techniques. Students will also have obtained a stronger understanding of how to talk to producers and funders about a genre piece.
