PLAYWRITING: The Low Budget One Act
4 Week workshop 

​
Experience a dynamic 4-week workshop aimed at igniting your creativity and honing your skills in crafting captivating one-act plays on a limited budget.

This intensive course delves into innovative techniques to amplify dramatic impact within resource constraints. Whether you're a seasoned playwright or new to the craft, this workshop provides invaluable insights and practical strategies to breathe life into your theatrical vision while staying budget-conscious.

This class isn't just for playwrights; screenwriters will also benefit, enhancing dialogue skills and mastering the art of crafting low-budget screenplays. In addition to studying successful published one-acts, each participant will workshop their play twice. By the course's end, you'll have analyzed numerous plays, crafted and refined two drafts of your script, and developed a concrete plan to polish your work for production.
​
There are no limits to genre or style, and you don't need to have a draft started before the first session. Join us and embark on a transformative journey into the world of one-act playwriting, by the summer you could be watching your work live on stage!

“With Jess I’ve always felt the deep pleasure of collaborating with someone of genuine seriousness and dedication. Actors find her work challenging and emotionally nurturing and her colleagues appreciate her deep commitment to the truth.”
– Christopher Shinn (Pulitzer Prize-nominated playwright)

These classes have provided a variety of new approaches that work so much more effectively for me than any of the books or MFA classes I have experienced.  I am a weirdo. But Jessica found a way to work with my weird brain so that I can participate in this industry.  Writing, rewriting and pitching and networking are now fun an meaningful, rather than an annoying necessity. 
- JR (Playwright/Screenwriter)
