H151: America's Next Top Playwright in Splash Fall 2015 (Oct. 24, 2015)
What does it mean to write a play, or to act it out? Is it association to some core and common human experience? Or is it something else? Test yourself and find out exactly what it is to translate a thought from the brain, to the page, to the stage, and what it means to allow others to take part in the process. Please bring something to write with and on (computers are acceptable!).


H64: It Ain't Easy but it Ain't Hard Either. in Splash Spring 2015 (Apr. 18, 2015)
We all have a basic need to tell others about our thoughts, and to grapple with them ourselves. Writing is one of the most basic ways we have of doing this, and plays are some of the earliest forms developed to recreate these thoughts and experiences physically. But what does it mean to write a play, or to act it out? Is it association to some core and common human experience? Is it forgetting all of this? Test yourself and find out exactly what it is to translate a thought from the brain, to the page, to the stage. Please bring something to write with and on (but no computers!).
