Theatre

HOW TO WRITE A PLAY WHEN YOU’RE STUCK/FEEL LIKE YOU CAN’T/DON’T WANT TO (EVEN THOUGH YOU WANT TO)/HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO GET STARTED

In this workshop, we’ll be thinking about how the body exists on stage. We’ll talk a lot about how different theatre is from the story-telling media we engage with on a daily basis: film, TV,  podcasts. Film and TV are visual media. Podcasts are all about aural experience. But theatre is visual and aural. It’s the only storytelling medium that engages—or can engage—every single sense. (You can’t smell or taste or touch a movie or a podcast, right?

Are you a theatre kid, looking for a stage? Have you never acted before, but always wanted to?

GREAT NEWS: This show is for YOU.

On a clear, moonless night in the middle of winter, all is not what it seems in the remote town of Almost, Maine. As the northern lights hover in the sky above, Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways.
