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!

Pigeon: He is past the river, so you must swim over. It’s not far.<br />
Fox: Are you sure? I’m not used to swimming that distance….<br />
Pigeon: Just jump in. At least try it!<br />
Fox: I’ll give it a shot………<br />
(Panting) How did you get here so quickly?<br />
Pigeon: I flew over the river.<br />
Fox: I thought you were going to swim too. That’s not fair.<br />
Pigeon: Why wouldn’t it be. I can fly!<br />
Fox:<br />
Hmm. Where is this one that you respect?<br />
Pigeon:<br />
He’s just over that ravine. Not far.<br />
FOX:<br />
What is this? How should I get over this chasm?<br />
Pigeon:<br />
Well, you will have to run around it while I fly over.<br />
Fox:<br />
How much further is he? I’ve been running for 3 days.<br />
Pigeon:<br />
The one that I respect is just ahead in the well. You really took your time.<br />
Fox:<br />
Is that it? (pointing at the well.)<br />
