playwriting workshop July 19 at Boston Playwrights Theatre

[Patrick Gabridge]

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to let you know about a day of workshops being led by former Boston playwright, Monica Bauer, at Boston Playwrights Theatre on Sunday, July 19.  In addition to sharing useful and fun information, Monica's using the event to help finance entry of her musical, Lighter, to the New York Musical Theatre Festival (a very big deal).

I'll paste the info below.  I hope I'll see some of you there.

"Writing is Rewriting: Coping Strategies for Emerging Playwrights," a writing workshop for playwrights with insights from Marsha Norman, Craig Lucas, Edward Albee, and others, will be held at Boston Playwrights' Theater, 949 Commonwealth Ave., on July 19th, from 3 to 5 pm. Led by award-winning playwright Monica Bauer (Outstanding Playwriting, Midtown International Theater Festival 2008, New York; Finalist for the 2008 Heideman Award, among others), workshop will focus on lessons learned by Bauer in Master Classes taken at the Kennedy Center Summer Playwriting Intensive, the Great Plains Theater Festival, and a workshop with Craig Lucas taken at The Flea Theater in New York. Focus will be on the use of revision to find the playwright's true voice, and how to tell if your story can best be told on stage, in fiction, or the non-fiction essay form. Bring laptops or pen and paper, whichever you prefer. Donation of $30 (or pay what you can for the unemployed) will be accepted at the door.
