NEW QUESTION: We have had a huge response to this program and we are looking at opening another class. If this happens, classes will run on Mondays with an early class (5:30 pm- 7:30 pm) and a later class (7:30 pm- 9:30 pm), if we make this change, which class time would work better for you? *
Please provide us with a short bio for yourself as an artist.  

This bio does not need to be long or extensive, we just want to know where you are coming from. Remember, this program is called "My First Play" so we are looking for folks who are new to playwrighting and want to learn!

Here is an example:
Sally Sheppard (she/her) is a visual artist who works in clay and collage mediums. She is an avid volunteer in the Edmonton arts scene, volunteering for the Edmonton Fringe and the Edmonton Folk Music Festival. Sally loves to read and finishs about 100 books a year. 
 *
Please provide us with a short description of the play you would like to write. This can be as loose or abstract as you wish, we just want to hear more about what you are interested in writing about. 

Here are some examples: 

"I want to examine the relationship between a mother and daughter over their lifetimes."

"I want to write a play that takes place in space."

"I am a movement/ dance artist and I would like to take this program to better understand storytelling."
