Join award-winning playwright and teacher, Tammy Ryan, for a one day Master Class in writing and rewriting the 10 minute play. Perfect for writers of all experience levels!
Often 10 minute plays are the way that writers introduce themselves to the world, so we want to help you put your best foot forward.
In the morning Tammy will discuss what makes a great 10 minute play and then through a series of writing prompts get you started writing yours.
During an extended lunch break you can eat and write a new 10 minute play or revise an old one.
In the afternoon, you will share new pages with Tammy and receive feedback.
You will leave class prepared to finish or revise your new 10 minute play.
Public Reading of YOUR New Play!
If you register for a PlayPenn class by January 14, 2018, then you can apply for the opportunity to have your unproduced full-length plays given a public, professional staged reading. PlayPenn will produce one student’s play as a reading with a professional director, professional actors and a PlayPenn Dramaturg in Philadelphia, PA in the spring/summer of 2018. The play many not have had a professional production. PlayPenn will cover the costs of the reading, but the student is responsible for their own housing and transportation. If you register for a class by the deadline then additional details will be emailed to you after January 14, along with a submission form.
