Playwriting

Description

Playwriting classes are creative, collaborative, and a great way to build storytelling skills. Students learn how to develop characters, shape dialogue, and structure scenes through guided writing exercises and group discussion. Along the way, students build confidence in their writing and learn how plays move from the page to the stage. By the end of the session, each student will have written a short play and get an audio recording of their work, bringing their story to life through voice. Students will not perform during showcase.

Theatre classes will meet in the lobby of Davenport Junior Theatre.
