Playwright’s Workshop with James Christy, Arts Council of Princeton Artist-in-Residence

The Arts Council of Princeton presents a free workshop for ages 14-18 that will take place on Tuesdays, 4-5:30 pm from September 24 - November 5. The workshop, taught by Playwright James Christy, will use a variety of writing exercises and in-class performances to help students develop new plays. No experience is required but students must be engaged and interested in exploring theater, be willing to fully participate during class sessions, and complete writing assignments. Mr. Christy will encourage students to explore stories happening in Princeton, and how a historic and wealthy community is changed by an expanding Latino population. The class will use the two sides of the ACP’s Witherspoon Street and the Jackson-Witherspoon neighborhood as a model to explore stories. The workshop will culminate in a public reading of short pieces from each class member.

Registration is required; please call Maria Evans at (609) 924-8777 x105 or email mevans@artscouncilofprinceton.org.
