Play Development  

Presented by: Two River Theater Company

Program Description

(732) PRO-JECT: Though interviews, story circles, and online/video contributions, TRTC collects stories from people who work, live or play in the (732) area code, and offer those stories back to the community in readings and plays. Middle and High School students are offered classes and workshops where they learn the interview techniques, listening skills and how to translate these interviews into fictional, creative writing. Student participants work closely with the creative team on the generation of the script. They will also participate as actors in the many performances planned.
