Community Playwriting

Community playwriting is a collaborative process where members of a community come together to create original theatrical works. Participants often share their personal stories, experiences, and cultural perspectives, which are then woven into a script reflecting the community’s identity. This form of playwriting encourages creativity, strengthens community bonds, and provides a platform for voices that may otherwise go unheard. It can involve workshops, public readings, and performances, fostering both artistic expression and community engagement. Ultimately, it serves as a way for communities to explore and celebrate their narratives through the medium of theatre.
