Rotate Theatre Writing Workshops offer adult theatre artists of all specialties fun, accessible ways to experiment with playwriting. The Winter 2025 theme is Full-Length Plays, so activities will encourage participants to explore building longer works. Performers of underrepresented demographics (LGBTQIA2S+, BIPOC, women, etc) are especially encouraged to register (and to write engaging roles for themselves and their fellow performers!).
Sessions include a rotating selection of activities utilizing writing prompts, tools from other areas of theatre (acting, design, etc), and contextualizing exercises that help us identify and shape the messages of our own developing works. Rotate Theatre Writing Workshops combine our Rotation Practices with techniques gathered in other settings, including Francesca Peppiatt's Chicago-based "Play For Keeps" program. Participants retain full copyright of the plays they write during the workshop.
Rotate Theatre's 2024/2025 programming includes an Acting Workshop series running in tandem with the winter Writing Workshop. This season culminates with Rotate Theatre's spring event, Stage Test: An Evening of Works in Development, in Madison, WI.
