Community Bake-Off Writing Workshop
Inspired by the legendary playwriting exercise created by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel, we invite you to join us for a creative, fast-paced, and immersive Bake-Off facilitated by our visiting resident playwright Sean Dunnington.
Participants will engage in written exercises on an assigned theme and elements in response to plays and works of art within a 48-hour period. There’ll also be a gathering after to read the scenes everyone has come up with in a shared celebration of creativity.
Open to playwrights of all levels. Build your writing toolkit and sharpen your craft through this 2-day workshop!
