Come join the fun as playwrights (past, present and future) convene for the Indiana Writers Center July member meeting.

This interactive meeting, led by Andy Black, founder of the Indiana Playwrights Circle, will discuss:

-The joys of playwriting for novices, as well as for more seasoned writers

-Some simple best practices for playwriting (whatever your stage of development)

The Indiana Playwrights Circle (a networking group for playwrights) is currently reinventing itself, so there will be a discussion of plans for the IPC’s future and ways to get involved in a support system for dramatic writing and for playwrights.

The play IS the thing, so come join fellow writers for a fun session on Tuesday, July 8!

Andrew Black, PhD, is a playwright and a teacher of playwrights. He currently lives in Columbia, Missouri, where he received his PhD in Theatre and Performance Studies. His area of research is best practices for teaching playwriting (and many of his research discoveries find their way into his classes for the IWC).

Andrew has an MFA from Ohio University’s School of Theatre. His 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. He is the founder of the Indiana Playwrights Circle which is a special sub-group of the Indiana Writers Center for playwrights. He is currently working on a one-person show called What Same-Sex Marriage Means to Me which tracks his adventures as a man who loves other men through the changing legal, cultural and political trends of the last 60 years.
