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, Kay Shean, Darryl Stamp, and Debora Threedy.
A call for applications to Cohort 3, led by Elaine Jarvik, Kay Shean, Darryl Stamp, and Debora Threedy, is coming fall 2026.
