PTP'S Artist Lab is happy to host a series of Playwriting Workshops this April! There are four workshops to choose from, each with a different focus. Whether you take one, a couple, or all four, you'll gain valuable insights to hone your script writing abilities. Writers of all experiences levels are welcome!
PLAYWRITING WORKSHOP #1 "Identity, Aesthetic, & Intrigue: Creating Your Signature"
INSTRUCTOR: Summer Krafft
DATE: Thursday, April 3
TIME: 6:30pm-8:30pm
PLACE: PTP Artist Lab, 1218 K St, Modesto
PRICE: $20 ($10 for students with ID)
DESCRIPTION: In this 2 hour workshop, we will examine the language we already gravitate towards, see what it can tell us we're doing, see what we want it to do more effectively, and identify what makes us truly distinct as the writers we are. By the end of this workshop, writers will have a better idea of what's working for them and be able to put that into a compelling bio to use on their next publication or project.
