This season, we’re combining our popular Open Circuit programs, Open Writes and Field Work, into alternating monthly Saturday meetings — all free to access on Zoom!
Open Write months will continue to feature guest writers who lead attendees through exercises and writing time.
Field Work months will feature a professional development topic relevant to building a career as a civic-minded theatre artist, with guest artists providing a teach-in on that theme, and time for attendees work on their own materials.
We're kicking it all off on September 18 with a Digital Writing Retreat led by C1 Mellon Foundation Resident Playwright Kirsten Greenidge. Since we began our Virtual Open Writes in spring 2020, writers have been asking for space to share work during our sessions, and this is your chance! Sign up for one of 15 individual slots in the 9am or 11am session for 90 minutes of small-group writing exercises and workshop-style feedback.
This event is made possible with support from the Mellon Foundation’s National Playwright Residency Program, administered in partnership with HowlRound.
