Leawood Stage Company Presents Play Development Workshop

The Leawood Stage Company is pleased to present a free workshop on the Process of New Play Development in the Oak Room on the lower level of Leawood City Hall, 4800 Town Center Drive beginning at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, October 29th.

You’ve seen new plays – but how do they get to the stage?  The American theatre is begging for new models of play development and there is widespread agreement in the field that the choices of new work nationwide are becoming homogenized.

The workshop will be presented by New York City based staff members Morgan Allen and Erin Detrick of New Dramatists, the nation’s premier laboratory for playwrights.  They will take participants through a crash-course in the old models, why they don’t work, and how New Dramatists is working to improve the quality of life for playwrights.

Morgan Allen is in his sixth season as General Manager of New Dramatists, where he oversees and manages bookkeeping/financial accounting, benefits administration and participates in budgeting and financial reporting, as well as coordinating the annual Spring Luncheon, among other responsibilities.  As a playwright, he is the co-author with Mitch Montgomery of Triumph of the Underdog, which was produced during the 2008 New York International Fringe Festival.  His short play, Leap, was featured as part of Prospect Theater Company’s Dark Nights Series in 2006 and can be seen as part of the LSC production of Six One Act Plays.

Erin Detrick is in her fourth season as the Artistic Programs Administrator at New Dramatists, and first had the pleasure of working with the organization as an intern in 2003.  Previously, she was the Publications Director for Playscripts, Inc.  With Playscripts, she co-edited Funny, Strange, Provocative: Seven Plays from Clubbed Thumb and three monologue collections.  As a dramaturge, Erin’s freelance credits include work with Actors Theatre of Louisville, Cleveland Public Theatre, the 24Seven Lab, Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre, and a variety of workshop productions.

The Leawood Stage Company will host this unique opportunity for audiences to learn more about the process of developing a script.  As part of our mission, LSC will present this workshop free of charge for the education of the community.  This New Play Development Workshop will be held in association with the Leawood Stage Company’s production of Six One Act Plays.

See a free staged dramatic reading of Six One Act Plays by four playwrights in the Oak Room on the lower level of Leawood City Hall, 4800 Town Center Drive. Friday and Saturday performances will begin at 8:00 p.m. with a Sunday matinee at 2:00 p.m. Following each performance the audience will interact with the playwrights in a question and answer period.  Discover how they were inspired to write their plays and about their process.

Playwriting Workshop
by playwright Kirby Fields

April 2, 2011

Saturday 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Oak Room, lower level of Leawood City Hall
4800 Town Center Drive, Leawood, KS 66211

Free Admission!

Leawood Stage Company Presents a Playwriting Workshop

The Leawood Stage Company is pleased to present a free workshop on Playwriting in the Oak Room of the Community Center, lower level of Leawood City Hall, 4800 Town Center Drive beginning at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, April 2nd.

The workshop will be presented by New York City based playwright, Kirby Fields. He will take participants through a discussion of a play’s structure and apply it to a number of examples. Writers should leave with an idea for a short play of their own.

Kirby Fields received his MFA in Playwriting from Carnegie Mellon University. His plays were developed as part of the Kettle of Inspiration Reading Series, the Michigan Theater Festival, the F.A.C.T. Words & Wine Series and Beginnings at Happy Ending. Fields’ play Flood was featured in the 2010 Samuel French Off Broadway Short Play Festival and another play was accepted at the upcoming NY 15-Minute Play Festival. He is a founding member of the 61A writers group and a regular contributor to PopMatters.com.

After growing up in Joplin, MO, Fields arrived at the University of Kansas for graduate school. While at KU, Kirby fell in with Paul Lim and English Alternative Theater (EAT), a theater company housed within an English department. Inspired by EAT’s commitment to produce student works, Fields decided to put down on paper an idea that had been brewing for a number of years. He wrote his first play over spring break and by fall it was in front of an audience. That was the turning point; playwriting took over Fields’ focus.

The workshop will be held in association with the stage production of Down on Memminger presented by Leawood Stage Company the same weekend. Down on Memminger is an exploration of a young man’s interaction with his family and former girlfriend as he deals with uncontrollable pain resulting from a lifelong physical aliment.

The Leawood Stage Company will host this unique opportunity audiences to learn more about the process of creating a script. As part of our mission, LSC will present this workshop free of charge the education of the community. Space is limited so reservations requested.

See a free staged dramatic reading of Down on Memminger by playwright Kirby Fields in the Oak Room of the Community Cetner, lower level of Leawood City Hall, 4800 Town Center Drive. Friday and Saturday performances will begin at 8:00 p.m. with a Sunday matinee at 2:00 p.m. Following each performance the audience will interact with the playwright in a question and answer period. Discover how Fields was inspired to write the play and about his process.
