Workshops

Directors' Scene Workshops

Scene Workshops, which are generally held on Saturday afternoons, provide opportunities for would-be stage directors to get hands-on experience directing a short scene.  This is also an excellent opportunity for actors to hone their skills.

Directors are provided with a script, actors, and a stage manager to assist with the production.  More experienced directors may be permitted to choose their own scenes and/or personnel.  Directors work the scene from noon to around 4, and the scenes are presented at 5:00.

If you are a current directing candidate (or would just like to try your  hand at directing), an actor, or a stage manager (novice or experienced), and would like to participate in one of these workshop, please contact Betty Lent.  (Note:  Experienced actors may also submit a 10-15 minute scene in which they would like to perform.)

Playwrights' Workshop

The Community Players Playwrights Workshop supports and encourages writing for the stage and screen.  Members bring in portions of works, completed works, and works-in-progress for reading, comment and suggestions.  Once a year, the writers' group may choose a work or selection of works by workshop members to propose to the board for a fully-staged production.

Since 1998, the Workshop has staged six profitable and well-received full productions of original works:

The Workshop also stages periodic readings of completed works and works-in-progress. 

For membership or other information, please contact George Kelly,  603-224-0073.

All workshops meet at the Players' Studio.
