09/17: IPC Scene Night

Facilitator: Andrew Black
Date: Wednesday, September 17
Time: 7:00-9:30pm EST
Location: Zoom
Cost: Free for members; $10 for nonmembers

Limited seating available. Registration is required

This interactive gathering of playwrights invites playwrights to bring pages in progress for cold readings by actors. Each scene night will provide an opportunity for six playwrights to bring up to ten pages (1600 words) to the session and hear the pages read, followed by a post-reading discussion critique. Each session can accommodate up to six writers, and each writer will receive about 20 minutes for reading and discussion.

Due to actor availability, we will use gender-blind and race-blind casting at Scene Nights.

Indiana Playwrights Circle members may attend as a perk of their membership.   Non-members will be asked for a $10 donation.

 

Once the class is confirmed, you will receive Zoom info from sarah@indianawriters.org

About the Instructor:
Andrew Black is a scholar, playwright and a teacher of playwrights.  He lives in Indianapolis, having completed his PhD in Theatre and Performance Studies at the University of Missouri in 2023.  As a scholar, his research looks at best practices for teaching playwriting.  His first book (Signature Pedagogies for the Playwriting Classroom) was published by Bloomsbury in July 2025, and his second book (The Playwriting Curriculum) will be published by Gitelman & Good later in 2025.  Many of his research discoveries find their way into his classes for the IWC.  As a playwright, Andy’s first full-length play Porn Yesterday (co-written with Patricia Milton in 2001) has been produced across the country. Since that first play reached the stage, it has been a non-stop, full-on adventure!  Many productions of short plays and full-length plays have followed.  Andrew has been on the faculty of the Indiana Writers Center since 2012 and  is the founder of the Indiana Playwrights Circle.  Check out his website at www.andrewblackplaywright.com
