Rotate Theatre Writing Workshops offer adult theatre artists of all specialties fun, accessible ways to experiment with playwriting. Performers of underrepresented demographics (LGBTQIA2S+, BIPOC, women, etc) are especially encouraged to register (and to write engaging roles for themselves and their fellow performers!).

Sessions include a rotating selection of activities utilizing writing prompts, tools from other areas of theatre (acting, design, etc), and contextualizing exercises that help us identify and shape the messages of our own developing plays. Rotate Theatre Writing Workshops combine our Rotation Practices with techniques gathered in other settings, including Francesca Peppiatt's Chicago-based "Play For Keeps" program. Participants retain full copyright of the plays they write during the workshop.
