Drama Writing Workshop with A.P. Andrews

Mark your calendars for July 9-12, 2015!

Join New York playwright A.P. Andrews in Red Cloud for a four-day workshop in drama writing! This workshop is open to all experience levels and will culminate in a staged reading in the Red Cloud Opera House!

Our 8th annual Prairie Writers' Workshop will be led by New York playwright A.P. Andrews. A native of nearby Superior, Nebraska, Andrews serves as artistic director of Superior Community Theater, though his work has been performed and developed in Nebraska, New York, Idaho, and Great Britain. He is teaching assistant in the playwriting program of New York University's Playwrights Horizons Theater School, as well as producing associate for Seven Devils Playwrights Conference.

Andrews' Nebraska Cycle is a series of ten plays about life in the rural Midwest, and includes Abby in the Summer, Burning Barn, The Girl with the Red Balloon, Tailgates, Three More Sundays, Meth and Kisses, Cecil and Marie, Homesteads, Maria Barone Comes Home, and Winter Visits. Other works include Constantin, Higher, Tommy and His Stars and Stripes, Jolly the Christmas Walrus, This Might Hurt a Little, Optimism Or, and a collection of six one-act plays entitled Awake and Dreaming.
