Young Playmakers Circle with Jeremy Smith

Driftwood Theatre's Young Playmakers take a six-week deep-dive into imagining, drafting and creating their very own short plays or scenes while learning the craft of storytelling for theatre. Over group sessions, participants will explore tools for writing compelling action-driven scenes, they’ll learn the mechanics of writing strong dialogue moment-to-moment, and they’ll respond to multiple writing prompts as they prepare their own, brand new 10-minute play. All Young Playmakers Circle participants will automatically have their plays considered for Driftwood's 2027 Bright Ideas Festival, a professionally-staged reading of plays written by youth.
