WRITING AND PERFORMING YOUR SOLO SHOW- This class will guide the actors/writers towards creating their own 10 minute personal monologue for performance. Through writing prompts you will mine moments from your life; secrets, memories, stories you discover you want to tell. I will coach you on bringing your words once crafted from page to stage. This class empowers actors towards the creation of their own work. Each of us has a story to tell that can illuminate our common human experience. Is there a better time than now to tell it?

Wednesdays 6:30-9  8-10 students

NEW! Join the Bucks County Playhouse Writer’s Room

This workshop is available to purchase as a package for all sessions or as a per session drop-in class Thursday nights 6:30-8:30 April 15 2021 – June 3, 2021

Many writers find it helpful to share their writings-in-progress with a small community of supportive colleagues. Some need deadlines for motivation to start or continue their work, and find that a scheduled class provides a gentle nudge to keep on-track.

This workshop is designed for writers who wish to meet regularly in a supportive weekly session. Prompts will be provided as an option, but you may also continue working on your own projects instead. The workshop provides accountability. Feedback is not prescriptive but in the form of remembered images, moments and words from peers following optional group sharings. It’s a good way gain perspective on how your writing affects others.  When and what you share is totally under your personal control.
