CREATIVE AGING PLAYWRITING WORKSHOP
A free workshop for older adults (age 55+) facilitating the creation of well-crafted, short (possibly very short!) plays - while also facilitating social engagement - in a series of two-hour sessions.
No experience necessary.
For the first two cohorts, applicants were asked to share, in 150 words or less, what was appealing about this workshop and/or what they hoped to get out of it. We received 19 applications for 8 slots so we formed two cohorts, led by Elaine Jarvik, Julie Jensen, Kay Shean, and Debora Threedy.
Cohort 3, led by Elaine Jarvik, Kay Shean, Darryl Stamp, and Debora Threedy (with their 200 years of combined theatrical experience!) is coming in April/May 2027. Click here to apply by midnight on December 6, 2026!
