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!

For enrollment information, see www.freeholdtheatre.org, or email

If you were turned away from Ki Gottberg's incredible workshop; if you thought about attending Braden Abraham's superb "Directing New Plays" workshop but waited too long; if you were disappointed because you procrastinated and couldn't get into the life-changing experience of studying with Steven Dietz, then e-mail willis@olynet.com to reserve your spot in Arlene's playwriting workshop tonight.

We still have a few spots available.
