How I… Join Rehearsals
Great news - your play is being put on! Now what? This talk with playwright Maureen Lennon demystifies what happens once your script heads into the rehearsal room. It explores what it means to give notes, how to know what to cut and advice for working with directors, designers and actors.
It's a practical guide to the collaborative process that brings new writing to life once it leaves the confines of your bedroom (or very professional writing office). This talk will help early-career writers understand their role in production and how to make the most of it.
This talk will take place in the pop-up space on Pier Street.
