Writing a Feature-Length Play

My English and acting classes at Ensworth have shaped my passions for creative writing and performance into a love of storytelling. Through stories, we can step into other lives, worlds, and times, experiencing something outside of our own perspective while discovering a truth about ourselves. I believe theatre as a storytelling artform can be a tool for empathy and unity, and I want to use that tool to articulate the beauty I find in the world around me. I will be drafting, revising, and staging an original play, in order to better understand the process a playwright goes through to create a piece of theatrical art.
