Playwriting Group  Spark 2008  13 Lemonade Ave.

 

Secret Room Theatre Playwrights Workshop continues this Fall with six more sessions. The workshop is free and open to any playwright in the Philadelphia area. The meetings will be held on the following Mondays: 9/29, 10/13, 10/27, 11/10, 12/1, 12/15. All sessions start at 7:30 and take place on the 3rd floor of The First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia at 2125 Chestnut Street. To enter, press the intercom button that says "Beacon Center".

The first part of each meeting is devoted to the reading of 2-3 page playwriting exercises. These optional exercises are written before class and are read cold by others in the group. The exercises are designed to get you writing and give you a chance to hear your work read aloud at every session. We do not do a formal critique of these exercises.

The second part of each meeting consists of three reading slots of 10-15 minutes each. Playwrights sign up in advance for a slot and bring at least as many copies of the script as there are speaking parts. You can read either a complete short play or a part of a longer work. Each reading slot will then be followed by a brief critique of the play.

Please email if you plan on attending and let us know if you'd like to sign up for one of the 10-15 minute reading slots.
