Description
Conversations About Playwriting (Winter 2024) (Live at Chicago Dramatists!)
1 Saturday
Feb 10
10:00am - 1:00pm Central Time
Instructor: Martyna Majok
Ask me anything! This class is a hybrid Q&A-conversation. Please come prepared with 1-2 questions about anything playwriting related that may be most on your mind -- whether that's about craft, career, business, writing block. The purpose of this class is to commune with the concerns of your and your colleagues and share resources and life hacks amongst each other.
Though writing may be solitary, community is essential. Since we are often the only playwright in any rehearsal rooms, and as the pandemic has harmed many of our collective spaces, this class is an opportunity to question and share and, hopefully, to connect and inspire.
This generative workshop is available to the public!
Martyna Majok was awarded the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for her Broadway debut play, Cost of Living, which was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Play. Other plays include Sanctuary City, Queens, and Ironbound, which have been produced across American and international stages. Other awards include The Arthur Miller Foundation Legacy Award, The Obie Award for Playwriting, The Academy of Arts and Letters Award for Exceptional Playwriting, Hull-Warriner Award, The Hodder Fellowship at Princeton University, Lanford Wilson Prize, Lilly Award, Lucille Lortel Award, Helen Merrill Prize, Helen Hayes Award, Jean Kennedy Smith, two Jane Chambers Awards, The Hermitage/Greenfield Prize, Francesca Primus Prize, and NYTW's 2050 Fellowship. Gatsby, a new musical for which Martyna wrote the libretto with music by Florence Welch and Thomas Bartlett, will premiere this spring at A.R.T. Martyna has developed TV projects for HBO and is writing feature films for Plan B/Pastel/MGM/Orion, MRC/T-Street and Participant.
