A special two-part master class in bringing works to the stage. Join us for Part I tonight and Part II on Wednesday, May 20.
Bring your drafts and/or script ideas to this workshop designed to teach participants how to produce original one-act, one-person plays, based upon Dr. Weems’ experience as a playwright, performer and producer. The session will include suggestions on completing a script ready for the stage, selecting a director and marketing tips.
