JustPlay is a playwriting initiative that will provide a platform for ongoing script development and a social network for the often-isolating world of the playwright. We'll be offering programs that meet weekly, monthly and quarterly.
The JustWrite Weekly Workshops will be a three-hour round table workshop in which each contributing member will present a short scene or excerpt from their work. As a group we will critique the scene both as a whole and line-by-line, working through associations, structural analysis and text dramaturgy to determine how the scene functions and where it can be improved upon.
The JustPlay Monthly Readings will be a 6 to 7 hour session in which two or three writers will have the opportunity to present their drafts-in-full followed by a feedback session from the group. This will allow the writer to hear where the work sits as a whole.
Finally, the Playwrights Picnics will be a quarterly social event that highlights the need for physical community and connectivity outside of the workshopping environment. We see this as an opportunity for writers to come together on a grass roots level to engage and support one another.
