NET Offers Playwriting Intensive Course March 23-May 14

An 8 Week Course designed to help you explore the depths of your mind,
realize your ideas fully, and get them on stage

Led by NET’s playwright-in-residence Catie O’Keefe

This intensive playwriting course is for people interested in developing and fine-tuning a play script. Over the course of eight weeks, students will read and discuss a myrid of plays, attend and critique a local production and complete a series of writing exercises which will result in a final project. The workshop will culminate with a staged reading of all the students’ final projects at a local theatre.

New Edgecliff Theatre’s Playwright-in-Residence leads this exciting workshop! Catie O’Keefe holds a BA in Theatre from Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon and a Masters in Playwriting from Royal Holloway University of London. Her work has been performed in London, Edinburgh, Amsterdam, New York City, Portland, Denver, Cincinnati and at The Univserity of Louisiana. She is currently a recipient of the Peggy Ramsay Grant and continues to work in both the US and UK.
