Curious about writing for the stage?

Join Alight Theater Guild this April for a four-week online playwriting workshop for adults and writers ages 16+. No prior experience is required.

Through guided prompts, brief readings, and supportive discussion, participants will explore the fundamentals of dramatic writing—character, dialogue, and theatrical storytelling—while creating new material of their own.

Whether you're starting from scratch or developing an idea that’s been waiting in the wings, this workshop offers a welcoming space to experiment, write, and grow.

  • Sundays, April 5, 12, 19, & 26: 3–5 pm (EST)

  • Mondays, April 6, 13, 20, & 27: 7–9 pm (EST)

Duration: 4 weeks
Cost: $150
Scholarships available
