Join us for ANPF’s 2023 Playwriting Workshop, led by our Fall Festival Host Playwright Beth Kander. Participants will get the chance to work with Beth and the Fall Festival winning playwrights, and learn more about what it takes to create a new play. 

This workshop will take place from 10am-12pm on October 21st at OSF’s Hay Patton Rehearsal Center (HPRC). Doors will open at 9:40am. Pencil and paper will be provided, but feel free to bring a laptop or your own writing supplies! Our annual playwriting workshop is also back in person! Led by our Host Playwright Beth Kander and this year’s Fall Festival winning playwrights, the writing-intensive workshop features insights, in-class writing time, and a few tips and tricks from the playwrights, helping you take the next steps in your own writing journey!

All writers are welcome, whether you usually write plays, poetry, non-fiction, or fiction; are a seasoned writer or are just starting out. There’s room for everyone at our writers’ table.
