Description

Producing for Playwrights (Fall 2021) (Online)

Sept. 20 - Nov. 1
6:00pm - 9:00pm Central Time

Instructor: Jacob Janssen

Making work and getting work produced are two very different propositions. In this class we will explore the path from page to stage, and how to navigate it, so that your next project can be the success you want. The feeling of a project coming together is like no other, and playwrights are at their best when empowered to be their own best advocates when working with producers or institutions. This class will help writers clearly see the landscape on which they are working, and to provide playwrights with the tools to better navigate relationships in the world of self producing.
