Writing plays is similar to writing
stories, in that they have a beginning, middle and end, but the format and
structure is completely different than a typical story. There are no set requirements to become a playwright.
You don't need an education, but one may be helpful. Start out small, writing ten-minute plays to get the
hang of script format. When you feel you've gotten your script
polished enough to submit it, send it out. If you get rejected, send it out
again. The joy of seeing your own play in performance is a worthwhile reward
I fell into playwrighting quite accidental. I happened to run into a very important someone I had met years earlier. Never did I know his love for theatre in bringing stories to life on the stage, and neither did he know my love of writing. It was our second go-round together that we discovered this passion was within each other. So in a nutshell, the rest is history. We have collaborated together well and still do.
I believe Thespian Production has a very bright future - many strides were made this year. Moving forward, we are in the process of developing a non-profit theatre group, which will bring new and upcoming talent to the forefront - directors, playwrights, actors, from all over the country and hopefully, the world. People of every age can benefit from Thespian - theatre lovers, young adults looking to break into the arts - it's all about community. Every production is important, whether it is the one-act showcases or comedy events, but our premier event is the domestic violence awareness production, "A Different Kind of Love".
We at Thespian Production want to have fun and a good time at the shows, but domestic violence is a wide-spread, rampant issue in our society. It does not discriminate on race, culture, profession, or where you live. "A Different Kind of Love" takes a look at domestic violence, and it will educate you and definitely entertain you at the same time.
So stay tuned for Thespian Productions 2013 schedule on the website, which hopefully will be soon. We had a great 2012, but I know 2013 is going to be the best year yet. Many exciting and different things are in store. Until then, take care...
