Saturdays 10am–12pm (PDT) • On Zoom

Geffen Playhouse is offering a six-week, online, creative writing and storytelling workshop for 18-24 year olds who seek to grow as writers and theater makers. Participants will develop their voice through writing, revising, and receiving critical feedback.

Each of the 12 participants will create their own 3-5 minute theater piece culminating with a virtual presentation on Saturday afternoon, June 17, 2023 at 5pm (PDT), for invited friends and family on Zoom. Participants will be guided by two Geffen Playhouse Teaching Artists who are experienced in theater making, in supporting the artistic growth of young adults as writers, and in facilitating ensemble work.

The introspective sessions will take place on six (6) Saturday mornings at 10am – 12pm (PDT) and will focus on participants advancing their writing, comprehension, and listening skills while drafting, revising, and sharing their written theater piece.
