CA State Thespian Festival 2026

So you have an idea. Great! But how do you turn it into a play? Bring it to this workshop and find out how. Not only will you learn the building blocks of play creation—character, story and setting—but you'll learn the questions you should be asking and answering to push past your playwriting obstacles and help others with theirs. By the time you leave, you'll have a play that's ready for you to write and a set of tools that will help you with the next play and the one after that.
