#ENOUGH and Writing the 10 - Minute Play
Practice the fundamentals of building a short play centered on a social justice theme in this crash course by acclaimed playwright and Break Beat poet Idris Goodwin. Idris will guide participants (and observers) through the process of starting to write their own play for #ENOUGH: Plays to End Gun Violence, a 10-min play competition that calls on teens to write stories for the stage confronting gun violence - work that young writers can later build on and submit to the competition.
