Saturdays, 10am–12pm @ Geffen Playhouse

Geffen Playhouse is offering a six-week, in-person, creative writing and storytelling workshop for 18–24-year-olds who seek to grow as writers and theater makers. Participants will develop their voice through writing, revising, and receiving critical feedback.

Each of the 12 participants will create their own 3–5-minute theater piece culminating with a live presentation at Geffen Playhouse on Saturday afternoon, May 4th, 2024, at 1pm, for invited friends and family. Participants will be guided by two Geffen Education Teaching Artists who are experienced in theater making, in supporting the artistic growth of young adults as writers, and in facilitating ensemble work.

The introspective sessions will take place on six (6) Saturday mornings at 10am–12pm, and will focus on participants advancing their writing, comprehension, and listening skills while drafting, revising, and sharing their written theater piece.
