Space Available in DG Member Elizabeth Heffron's Playwriting Class

There's a few spots left in PLAYWRITING II, which begins next Tuesday,
Jan. 27th and runs for 8 exciting weeks, at Freehold!

In this class, we explore elements of playwriting by studying a
variety of theatrical genres. This year's class will feature:

The absurdist/comedic tendencies in
Bertolt Brecht's THE WEDDING

The poetic realism of
Sarah Ruhl's EURYDICE

The well-made-play structure of
Tracy Lett's AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY

Aspects of docudrama and solo performance in
Anna Deveare Smith's TWILIGHT: LOS ANGELES

During the course, we will work from writing prompts that spring from
our exploration of these plays.

RESULTS OF THE CLASS:
By the end of the quarter, you will have written numerous short scenes
in a variety of genres, and will have worked to complete two original
one-acts that are wildly different from one another..

So wipe the snow from your parka, grab your pen and paper, and get
down to Belltown, quick!
