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 multiple developmental worksessions with actors and other support artists, 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: In elementary school, Noah, Cal, and Drew are best friends forever; by the end of senior year they’re not on speaking terms. Cal comes out as nonbinary, Drew enters the manosphere, and Noah… well, Noah’s stuck in the middle. Lucky Strike is about in betweens: childhood and adolescence, the left and the alt-right. It’s about gaps, and trying to bridge them, and failing.

​

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.
