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!

O: Don’t insult my sister!!!!!<br />
She exits<br />
The next day<br />
SCENE 8<br />
LELIA: You are ready to Fledge.<br />
LILY:Offstage she whispers to herself This is what I ve been waiting for. I feel weak,<br />
how can those bitches have slipped the potion to me.<br />
Suddenly we hear rustling water that builds to a crescendo. Lily hears a voice offstage<br />
MYSTERIOUS VOICE water goddess : I am the goddess Sindhu, a goddess that your<br />
tribe has forgotten.I present myself to you because your father still worships me. You<br />
are also worthy of me so I shall give you some good advice.<br />
1st your mount shall be my symbol, a dolphin, this shall give you the power to communicate<br />
with me and other water animals.2nd you will only worship me<br />
If you don’t, your powers will be stripped from you. Now you will also be able to<br />
transform into water and water animals.<br />
LILY:I adore and revere you great Sindhu. I accept your power and I will never worship<br />
another God or goddess.<br />
SINDHU:Good. Now begin your Fledging, with my power you will be fine but concentrate<br />
all the same. She disappears with the sound of running water.<br />
We now come to the start of a new life for Lily.<br />
