Turning Dread Into Drama: Playwriting Workshop with Heller Theatre Company

Whether it’s the monster under your bed or the latest breaking news headline, we all have fears that send our hearts racing. But how can you turn the topic that makes your blood run cold into a story that scares other people?

Join Heller Theatre’s new playwright-in-residence, Bailey James, for a free workshop that explores how to transform your fears into compelling short plays. We’ll cover how to craft a story out of a chilling topic of your choice and how to use the tools of the stage to bring your play to life for an audience.

This workshop will provide you with the tools to write a script to submit for Heller’s upcoming Hellerween Shorts showcase. You’ll be guided through exercises meant to generate ideas, so bring pen and paper or a computer to write with.

Don’t miss this opportunity to turn dread into drama in this spine-chilling session!
