Workshop: Playwrights Circle
Wednesday April 6th, 2011
Information:
Are you struggling to complete that next play (or even that first play)? Are you seeking constructive feedback and criticism? Would you benefit from the support and encouragement of your peers? Perhaps a Playwriting Circle, run by APN, is what you're looking for.

Each Playwriting Circle runs one night a week for 8 weeks (April 6 through May 25). You bring the piece you're currently working on, or would like to start working on. You set your own goals for the process.

Guided by experienced playwrights Gordon Pengilly. APN's Playwriting Circles will help you to focus your work and move forward with it, working with a small group of your peers.
