Kicking off our fall season (2011) at the New Play Institute is award-winning playwright Anthony Clarvoe, who returns to teach his sold-out series in the East Bay. This wildly popular instructor offers his class: I think I (maybe… kind of… sort of… might…no, do…) Have The First Draft of a Play! (Now what do I do?) – which is a sequel to his previous classes on the full-length play.
Each class period will offer specific tools and techniques that address the process of revisions and rewrites, and give the tools you need to submit finished work to festivals, workshops and theaters once you’re done.
Here’s the catch: there are only four spots remaining of twelve total. This class will sell out, so be sure to register.
Class Description:
