The Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival invites you to a Free Community Playwriting Workshop!

This workshop will take place between 2 and 4 PM in Room B on the 3rd floor. Registration is required. To register, click here: https://hvshakespeare.org/production/community-playwriting-workshops/.

2023 Bake-Off Theme: Love’s Labor’s Lost, or “Jack Hath Not Jill”.

Created by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel, the Bake Off is a communal writing event in which writers are given a random list of “ingredients” to incorporate into a play (for example a kitchen sink, a front porch, and a withheld secret) to help inspire creativity and give writers permission to play.

In preparation, participants will attend a free play-writing workshop led by the Acting Director of the MFA playwriting program at Hunter College, Christine Scarfuto. All workshop participants can submit short plays to be considered. Between 5 and 7 of these plays will be performed by professional actors as part of the Community Bake-Off hosted by HVSF live and in person on November 11th & 12th.
