Playwriting Camp 2023
Fighting Words staff and volunteer mentors were privileged this year to work with a gifted, talented and fun bunch of 11 to 13 year olds! Over the course of five days working, we explored playwriting and helped these fantastic individuals to craft their own short plays from scratch. The work each author selected for inclusion is collected here. To all the young playwrights - keep writing all of you! We hope we work with you again soon!
