TWIN CITIES: End of Play.® Reading Room Scene Workshops

Friday, April 21
7pm CDT

We invite all writers, actors, technicians, and creatives of all kinds interested in workshopping their pieces and helping others workshop and cultivate new work to attend. Creatives beyond the Midwest region are welcome. Hosted by Twin Cities-based End of Play volunteer event coordinator, Hannah Bakke. It is free and open for all to attend, regardless of region, membership status, or experience level. 

The format: Writers can submit up to 8 pages of work to read, with several writers having their work read in a single night. These are not professional readings, but a vehicle for writers to hear their work read aloud. Participants should be ready to take turns reading and to provide feedback to other writers in a respectful manner, should they be interested in receiving it. Writers are not required to receive feedback and will have an opportunity to indicate this before their reading. Writers must be present to have their work read, and will be notified via email within 48 hours of sending their pages whether or not their work will be read.

To have your work read: Interested writers should email Hannah before the reading date at hannahruthbakke@gmail.com with the 8-page piece or excerpt they would like read. There are a limited number of slots available for time, and work will be selected on a first come, first served basis. Please also submit any content warnings you would like to share with audience members.

We ask that participants review the DG Code of Conduct for Community Spaces and be mindful of delivering feedback with care. A short discussion on curiosity-rooted feedback will kick off the session, and each writer will have the opportunity to pose specific questions or feedback that they are looking for prior to having their piece read. Feedback from DG volunteers are done so as individuals, and independently of their relationship with the Guild.
