FALL PLAYWRITING WORKSHOP
A 10 – week workshop designed to help new and experienced writers start or develop new plays into scripts that are ready to be put on stage.
Each 4-hour session will include: a warm-up writing exercise, reading and discussion of 3 or 4 works in progress, reading assignments from dramatic literature to illustrate and inspire writers with their work, and a closing exercise to focus on the next week’s work.
The workshop culminates in staged readings of the works in progress with professional actors and directors at East West Players’ David Henry Hwang Theater.
Instructor: DORIS BAIZLEY
September 15, 2007 – November 17, 2007*
Days & Times: Saturdays from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Staged Readings: December 4 – 11, 2007
Maryknoll Japanese Catholic Center

Fee: $375 (ACTS members $350)
DORIS BAIZLEY is a founding member of LA Theater Works (originally Artists in Prison) and has worked at the Mark Taper Forum as a member of the LA Writers Workshop, dramaturg for the Other Voices Program for playwrights with disabilities, and for seven years was resident playwright for the Taper’s ITP Company for young audiences. She has conducted playwriting workshops at East West Players, LA TheaterWorks, and UCLA Extension.

*NEW* WRITING IS REWRITING
A 13 – week workshop where the instructor will present lessons on different aspects of rewriting, and each playwright will have two class sessions dedicated to workshopping two different drafts of his or her play. Directed feedback sessions, tightly monitored by the instructor, will help playwrights realize their own unique vision and voice, rather than some arbitrary idea of what a play is supposed to be.
PLEASE DO NOT APPLY UNLESS you have a completed draft of a full-length play and can commit to attending all 13 sessions of the workshop.
