Local director and writer David Kenworthy will be leading a workshop for the WCWF to create an original play or screenplay on Tuesday, April 1st. He will be basing the session on the book The 90-Day Play by Linda Walsh Jenkins, which is used in playwriting classes all over the country. With brainstorming sessions, writing prompts, and industry tips and tricks, we hope you are on your way to writing your own play by the end of the session. Don’t be an April fool.
