Playwriting Masterclass with Steven Dietz
A play is a living, shifting, proximate narrative event, and therefore requires a unique skill set of its author: the ability to bring stories to life in real time …and keep them alive. This course seeks to name, explore and exploit the three primary tools for making a story that is forever “quickening”:Motion, Status, and Time. A lively and fundamental class for both the experienced writer and the novice.

by Erin Malone Turner, directed by Sky Williams
It’s summertime in 1980s southern Louisiana when a group of ardent camp counselors discover alternate dimensions within the campground’s forest.

Mr & Mrs Fitch
by Douglas Carter Beane
Meet gossip columnists, Mr. and Mrs. Fitch. When the social circuit no longer provides juicy morsels, when the pressure to create news in our never-ending news cycle becomes just a bit much, it’s time to toss back the martinis, toss around the bon mots and realize that great celebrity can just appear out of thin air.
This wicked, urbane comedy is a scathing look at who is in, who is out, and who may not even exist at all.
