Selected "Dream Designs", 2008-2018
Eugene O'Neill Theater Center Annual Young Playwrights Festival
Employing the signature “O’Neill process,” the festival provides professional-level support to develop original one-act plays written by middle and high school students. With these methods, the young playwrights hone their work, furthering it from the initial isolation of writing to the collaborative process involved in making their script into a living, breathing play. The creative teams meet their playwrights and read the script on Friday evening. I meet with each of the 5-6 playwrights and their director mentors on Saturday. These "dream designs" are created collaboratively and presented as part of Sunday's performances.
