ENROLL FOR THE 2021 YOUNG PLAYWRIGHTS TODAY!
LEARN TO WRITE A PLAY
Do YOU know an educator who could use a new activity for a student? Do YOU know a student with tons of ideas who could use some help figuring out how to get them on the page, OR finding what ideas are hidden in their imagination and experience?
The program's goal is to provide an online interactive course in playwriting for students without creating additional lesson-planning for educators. Instructors may schedule a session for a whole class, individual sessions for specific students, or simply use videos from the course in their own lesson plans as they wish.
This year’s program offers multiple options for educators to choose how to incorporate this program into their existing lesson plans. All options will give your students an opportunity to explore the fundamentals of playwriting: character, dialogue, structure, and conflict.
"I can adapt my lessons for any classroom situation or any number of students. I can tailor it to the work that students are doing in the classroom, or do something entirely independent," - Heidi Armbruster
