Using Storytelling for Social Justice by Lee Anne Bell as a guiding framework, this playwriting workshop will inspire students to unpack the types of stories we have been told and rewrite the narrative to tell their own stories. We will explore the interconnectedness between the oral traditions of storytelling and playwriting and learn about the Hero’s/ Heroine’s Journey, a theme woven through stories and plays from the time of The Odyssey to modern day Broadway. The two-week workshop will culminate with students producing and sharing their original work at a virtual short play festival.
