New Play Lab: From Page to Performance

This dynamic class is designed for eight writers who are in the process of writing the first draft of their play and are ready to explore the rewrite and rehearsal process. Working with a produced playwright throughout the month of August, you'll shape, refine, rewrite, and hone the story you're telling. Then, in September, you'll meet with an experienced director and actors for four hours of intensive rehearsal, culminating in two public staged readings of a portion of your play, as a part of Freehold's New Play Lab Showcase in mid September. Auditions and rehearsal will be scheduled in two weeks prior to the showcase. 

Prerequisites: Playwriting I: Exploring the Craft or Playwriting II: The Playwright's Vision or other playwriting training.  You must submit 15-20 pages of your play to the instructor by July 19.
