To give a voice to emerging young writers, The Coterie Theatre is offering a teen playwriting seminar, Saturday July 27, in the 2019 KC Fringe Festival, based on Coterie Artistic Director Jeff Church’s acclaimed program that he originated at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Students will learn to create settings, devise scenarios, and build characters. Upon completion of this seminar with a Coterie professional playwright/facilitator, young playwrights will have devised a beginning scenario for a complete play and will have several fully written scenes. Following this seminar, participants may be selected to develop their plays at The Coterie’s Young Playwrights’ Roundtable. The workshop is 5 1/2 hours long. It will start at 10:00am and end at 3:30pm, Saturday July 27. The workshop will be held at The Coterie in Crown Center, 2450 Grand Blvd, KCMO 64108. Available only for those entering grades 7-12.
