    Ever dream of writing for the stage? This workshop will show you how! By exploring the nuts and bolts of playwriting, theatrical storytelling will become accessible and fun. Topics covered will include understanding dramatic structure, building character, rewriting, and generating ideas that make good plays. Participants will also do in-class exercises and discuss examples of modern short plays. By weekend's end, participants will have all the tools they need to begin working on the play they've always wanted to create.

    Merridith Allen     is an award-winning playwright from New York City. Her plays have been produced by The Manhattan Repertory Theatre, The Provincetown Theater, The Hudson Guild Theatre, and The Dorothy Strelsin Theatre as part of the Midtown International Theatre Festival. Her play The House of Fallen Snow was a finalist in The Strawberry International One-Act Festival, and will be published next year. Other publication credits include a ten-minute play in Northern Light, a literary journal through Edinburgh University, and work featured in the upcoming 2011-2012 Best Women's Stage Monologues and Scenes, through Smith & Kraus publishers.
