Plot Twist is a weekly after school playwriting group where teens can explore writing for theatre. 

Participants will be guided through a writing process to build their own characters and then as a group, they will create and present a live play through voiceover and live performance for an invited audience. 

Entering its fourth year, Plot Twist has inspired teens to collaborate as an ensemble, laugh, and learn together as they create monologues, audio dramas, and live performances.

All levels of experience are welcome. Honoraria and snacks provided.

Join our fourth cohort to be part of:
– 8 x 2-hour sessions
– Group of 8 participants (13- to 19-years-old)
– Playwriting, acting, and voice acting exercises including facilitated by two professional playwrights and actors
– A masterclass with a professional actor and sound designer
– Creation of one monologue and one group-written short play
– Live performance for an invited audience
– Professionally recorded and edited monologue
