Young Adult Playwriting Class!


Young Playwrights, in collaboration with Theatre Horizon’s Autism Drama Outreach Program, introduces a new course: Young Adult Playwriting!

In Young Adult Playwriting, students (ages 17-30) will explore the various ways to write plays, including group, pair, and individually written pieces. The class will focus on strong characterization, rich dialogue, and engaging story lines and will help writers develop the skills they need to communicate their ideas effectively and make bold choices in a collaborative atmosphere.
