Writers Drop In: Stage, Screen & Spoken Word

Interested in creative writing for performance? Our monthly Writers Drop In is a flexible space to learn, experiment, and develop your creative voice. Every month, we switch things up to explore a completely different style of writing. You will try your hand at everything from scriptwriting for stage and screen to contemporary poetry and spoken word.

Full line-up details for each specific session will be announced closer to the dates, but each workshop follows the same open format. This is the perfect space to gather inspiration, play with fresh concepts, and test out ideas without a massive long-term commitment.
