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!

Krista: Call me Krista, please. Now let’s get to business, I understand that you have<br />

been to six schools in the last five years, Adelaide Academy being the seventh, that<br />

must be tough.<br />

Stella: I guess so, but I don’t really care.<br />

Krista: Stella, this is a safe place, anything you say will be kept completely confidential.<br />

I mean if I were you and have been moving from state to state so often, I think I would<br />

care.<br />

Stella: yes, well you’re not me.<br />

Krista: Okay. Well, you’re going to be staying here for three years so I think it would be<br />

a good idea to join a club or two to get you settled in with a few other students.<br />

Stella: …<br />

Krista: what are you into? Hobbies? Any at all?<br />

Stella: I don’t know.<br />

Krista: Well, here are your options, cheerleading, crochet, debate, basketball, music,<br />
