What is a Development Workshop?

​

​Development Workshops are reserved for pieces that have a first full draft and could use an intensive period of writing and hearing the work out loud with actors. This opportunity provides developmental worksessions with actors and other support artists over the course of a number of consecutive days, culminating in a reading and developmental discussion with an audience. This is reserved for scripts in a variety of developmental stages.

 

Development Workshop readings are $10 to attend, but no one is turned away from lack of funds. If the ticket price is out of reach for you, please select the subsidized ticket option. If you are able to contribute to our subsidized ticket fund, there will be an opportunity to do so at time of registration. Reserve your ticket now by any form of payment. Cash or check only at the door. 

​

​Synopsis: "A Play Where Nothing Happens” is a story of rural teenagers coming of age in quiet but intense ways. Maura and Anna’s last summer before college utterly lacks the iconic adventures promised in films and novels. Instead, they daydream, sneak into movies with their friend Pete, and try (unsuccessfully) to “make a thing happen.” In the process, Maura forms an unexpected bond with Anna’s college-dropout cousin, and all four of them––Anna, Maura, cousin Jack, and Pete–––must contend with the difference between what they think they want and what they actually do.

​

The reading begins at 7:30pm. Doors will open 7:00pm. No entry after 7:45pm. Please enter the 33 Hawley Building via the downstairs courtyard. The reading will take place in The Workroom.
