Thursday Aug 6 to Sept 24 // 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Playwriting is where architecture and alchemy joyfully meet. Participants will have the chance to develop ten minute play scripts as viable blueprints: stories that can leap forward to become a collaboration with future actors, directors, and designers.
During this eight-week workshop course, we will build a supportive writers’ room focused on the creation of brand new, romantic comedy, 10 minute scripts. Classes will feature guided, generative exercises, mentor texts, and group workshopping of plays written by the participants. Students will also receive recommendations of potential submission and production opportunities, both locally and nationally, at the conclusion of the class.
This beginner level class will provide its writers with a dedicated space to develop their own unique voices, and enjoy all the powerful, hopeful feels of the classic rom-com.
Elizabeth A. M. Keel is a Houstonian playwright, director, actress, dramaturg, producer, screenwriter, and novelist. Her plays have been read, commissioned and/or produced by The Alley Theatre, Flexible Grey, Fresh Produce’d (NYC), Haven Arts Theatre, Houston Contemporary Dance Company, Otherworld Theatre Company, Shattered Globe, Squeaky Bicycle, Stages, The Studio Theatre at Tierra Del Sol, Tokyo International Players, Voxfest, and Wordsmyth, among others. Several of her plays have been published by Smith & Kraus and Stage Partners. She currently works as a teaching artist for Writers in the Schools, Grackle & Grackle, Kinder HSPVA, and the Alley. She is a double alumna of University of Houston's School of Theatre & Dance. Upcoming projects may be found at www.elizabethamkeel.com.
