SPRING CLASSES
ADVANCED PLAY CREATION (ages 14-18)
*pair with Advanced Play Performance
Sundays, 5:00 - 7:00 / 6 weeks: March 2 - April 6
pay by check: $100 | pay by PayPal or Venmo: $104
Taught by Maren Langdon Spillane (bio)
This class will focus on the development of an original play that we will conceive as a group, focusing on the elements that create a good story. Though the play will be written by Maren, we will spend time reading drafts together, playing improv games to develop characters and relationships, and making changes based on our discoveries and discussions. This play will go on to be staged for the next 6-week class session, Play Performance Level 2, and will eventually be performed as DRT’s performance camp show for summer 2024! While we think taking both Play Creation and Play Performance is a great idea so as to be part of the entire process, doing just one or the other works, too!

This class will use the script developed by the Play Creation Level 2 class and culminate in a staged reading performance of this brand-new play! We will use this process as a basis for exploring more advanced acting concepts, such as nuanced character development and performance techniques.This class will serve as a workshop for the piece, which will be further developed after the session and used as DRT's performance camp play for summer 2024! While we think taking both Play Creation and Play Performance is a great idea, so as to be part of the entire process, doing just one or the other works, too.
