There are still a few spots available in Jan Bono’s One-Act Playwriting Class, which runs from 6 to 8 p.m. on five consecutive Monday evenings beginning September 19. If you’ve always wanted to try your hand at creating a play to submit to the Peninsula Players’ One-Act Festival, now’s the time!
“All levels of experience are very welcome,” says Bono, “but this class especially favors very beginning and early intermediate wannabe playwrights.”
The 5-week, 10-hour class has plenty of activities designed to bring out everyone’s creative side. “The goal is to complete an one-act play by the end of the class,” says Bono, “and I’m sure they will, IF they do their homework!”
Class cost is only $95, and requires only paper, pencil, and a spark of imagine. Call 360-642-4932 for more information, or register directly on Bono’s website: www.JanBonoBooks.com
The annual Peninsula Players’ One-Act Festival solicits new work from local playwrights in April each year.
One-act plays are traditionally performed in 20 to 45 minutes. They have only one setting and a limited number of characters. The challenge is to write a complete, performable story in just 15 to 35 pages of script.
Jan Bono, a prolific one-act playwright, is offering a 5-week playwriting class on the Long Beach peninsula, beginning September 19th.
In 2009, Bono won first and second place in the Willapa Players’ “Write On!” one-act contest and both plays were produced at the Hannan Theater. The Peninsula Players have also performed three of her plays in the past three years during their One-Act Festival in August.
The first two weekends of December this year, the holiday production at the River City Playhouse will be a trilogy of Bono’s Christmas one-acts.
The playwriting class will run from 6 to 8 p.m. on five consecutive Monday nights, September 19th through October 17th. The cost is $95. Space is limited to assure individual attention. Call Bono today at 360-642-4932 for more information, or register through her website at www.JanBonoBooks.com
