Write THE FIRST DRAFT of your next play this spring at Primary Stages ESPA. You’ll receive concrete deadlines, constructive feedback, and a collaborative environment that will encourage you to get your ideas on the page. Whether it's your first play or your hundredth, this class will give you the tools and support you need to complete a full first draft.

- A collaborative environment where you are encouraged to bring in unfiltered pages and give and receive feedback from classmates in a safe space, choose Leah Nanako Winkler (Writer, Kentucky at EST).

- To passionately pursue imagination, focusing on what is theatrical and must be a play, choose Crystal Skillman (Writer, Geek and Rain and Zoe Save the World).
- A safe place to try things, and dive into whatever you’re passionate about, choose Eddie Sanchez (Writer, Barefoot Boy with Shoes On at Primary Stages).
