If you’re a playwright in the metro Atlanta area, this post’s for you. If not, read anyway and consider relocating for a month.
I received the following email message in my inbox from Jill Patrick, Managing Artistic Director Extraordinaire of Working Title Playwrights, the premier play development group to which I belong (despite the absence of my name on the still-yet-to-be updated Affiliates page… I’m told it’s being worked on! 
). The message was announcing THE KICK-ASS SERIES: ACT TWO–The Second Installment of a Gonzo Playwriting Workshop in Five Parts.
I participated in ACT ONE earlier this year, and I will be forever grateful for the experience. I highly recommend this workshop series to anyone who is serious about designing a playwriting life.
I’ve reserved my space. Will I see you in class? No matter if you didn’t attend the first installment–you can jump right in now. When you register, tell ‘em Lisa B. enthusiastically sent you!
Working Title Playwrights Presents
THE KICK-ASS SERIES: ACT TWO
The Second Installment of a
Gonzo Playwriting Workshop in Five Parts
With Pamela Turner and Hank Kimmel
- Consider your life…
- Now, consider your writing.
In both cases, you may be jumping ahead before you’re ready
With the first, you’re on your own, Baby, but with the second, We Can Help.
* The most common complaint expressed by theatres is that too many submissions are underdeveloped and/or full of deadly mistakes.
* Our remedy is applied over four consecutive work sessions and then a workshop reading.
* First, through writing exercises, group critique, and “example mentoring”, you will start and finish a 10-minute play. Instruction will focus on “the character’s journey” and will emphasize the unique “rules” for a 10-minute play. You will have reading assignments and writing assignments both in and outside of class time.
* Second, you will hear your play performed by professional actors in a public reading followed by a formal critique conducted by Pamela Turner, Hank Kimmel, and a guest reviewer.
