Event Description
The Xi Zeta Omega chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha, Inc. is proud to host a virtual playwriting workshop presented by the Mosaic Theater Company. This two-part series will introduce the various components of a play such as plot structures, dialogue, dramatic action, play lengths, and character. Participants will use improvisation as a dramatic storytelling tool and respond to writing prompts to create a draft of a monologue. The issues, people and plays from the Black Arts Movement will serve as points of inspiration for writing. Dates for the event are 10/20 and 10/27.
