"The Farm Theater's’ Play Development class is a wonder. Not only is it a weekly place to learn the art and craft of playwriting, but you and your play are welcomed with dignity and respect. The environment of hard work builds self-confidence, which is sure to serve you well as you progress in the professional theatre world. But the biggest plus in the class is that you and your work have been listened to, heard, understood and appreciated, and that, quite frankly, is something that every artist deserves." Dianne Sposito, BRIO Award in Playwriting.
Grad School Audition Workshop:
The first hour the workshop will discuss an overview of the auditioning process for grad school. Each candidate will have an audition slot which they will display two contrasting monologues - two minutes each. Individual feedback will be given after the audition. The final hour of the workshop will allow for sharing of observations of overall best practices.
