Do you have a passion for writing? Curious about playwriting or theatre? Join us for this 8-week workshop for youth grades 5-8, led by actress and playwright Tanya Morgan.

Together, we’ll explore different aspects of playwriting: world-building, character development, dialogue, and plot. Inspiring writing prompts and fun improv exercises will spark your imagination.  This workshop is perfect for youth who want to express themselves, be creative, and meet others in an encouraging and welcoming environment. Everyone is welcome. No theatre or writing experience is required.

At the end of the 8 weeks, the t(w)eens will have the option to have professional actors read their work.
