Description
See your play come to life from start to finish by participating in a series of three writing workshops and the Green Shirt 10 Minute Play Fest.
How’s it work? Upon registration, you’ve reserved a slot in a three session writing. Over three Saturdays you’ll meet with the group for writing exercises, learn tips and tricks for writing 10 Minute Plays, read pages, and get feedback. Then a team of actors and directors will take your play and put it on its feet in the Green Shirt 10 Minute Play Fest with rehearsals starting on October 10 and the performance on October 18.
The Commitment Writers are required to attend 3 writing workshops. Your first draft will be due on October 4 and your final draft is due on October 10. We hope you can also make the show on October 18 to see your work in action!
Attendance Policy
In order to get the most out of your work with us, our students should make showing up to every class on time a priority.
We understand that things do come up so if you know you're going to miss a class, please give your instructor as advance notice as possible. This will help them get you caught up and not throw off the rest of the group. Scheduling a make-up class is possible but not guaranteed.
Students enrolled in our Meisner Acting Program can only advance to the next level if they've attended at least 6 of their 8 sessions. If a student misses more than 2 sessions, they will need to retake the level in order to advance in the program.
Cancellation Policy
Student Cancellation
If a student is withdrawing from a workshop more than 7 days prior to the day of the workshop, the tuition will be kept on file for a future class or workshop for a calendar year.
If a student withdraws from a workshop less than 7 days prior to the day of the workshop, the tuition is non-refundable or transferable.
We appreciate you respecting this policy for the best experience for our instructors and students!
Please reach out at 773-217-9565 if you have any questions.
Studio Cancellation
Occasionally we'll have to cancel a workshop due to low enrollment. We're sorry if that happens to you! If we have to cancel a workshop you've signed up for, we will give you at least 48 hours notice and promptly start your refund process.
In the event that class is canceled due to circumstances beyond our control (including but not limited to extreme weather and pandemic related shutdowns), a make-up will be scheduled as soon as it's safe for our students and instructors to be together safely at the studio.
In some cases classes may transfer to an online platform. If a student is unable to attend the rescheduled class due to circumstances beyond our control (including but not limited to extreme weather and pandemic related shutdowns) that student will receive credit on their account for the value of missed classes.
Space is limited!
See "spots left" above. Enroll now before the class is full!
