3 Plays. 3 Days. Come Play With Me!

Need a kick in the butt with your writing? 





3 Plays. 3 Days. 

An Intense Writing Intensive with Joe Janes 


3 Plays. 3 Days.
@ Gorilla Tango Theatre Chicago[Bucktown]
1919 N. Milwaukee Ave.
Chicago, IL 60647


In three days, participants will learn how to write improvisationally, ultimately generating three ten-minute plays. Each student will have one of their plays performed in a staged reading on the third day by some of Chicago's finest actors. Some writing experience is recommended. Class size is limited to 8.$150 until 7/20/14; $175 after. REG DEADLINE IS 8/1/14.

Playwrights from our last 3 Plays/3 Days class had this to say:

"My expectations going into the weekend were high...I wanted to try and write at the highest level I could and push myself. I wouldn't change anything about the class. At all. ...It's a great way to grow as a writer, to get focused and learn how to write in spurts and develop a writing routine." - Patrick, 3 Plays/3 Plays Writing Intensive Alum

"...You walk away with three new and different pieces. The staged reading element was awesome. I was flat out terrified to take the class (and seriously considered skipping) but I am glad that I did...I think regardless of the level you're at, you will be able to participate in and take a lot away from the class....there is a lot more to the experience than just the writing." - Alexandra, 3 Plays/3 Days Alum

PLEASE NOTE: Class times are Friday 8/8/14 from 6-9 pm; Saturday 8/9/14 from 12-6 pm, and Sunday 8/10/14 from 12-6 pm with the final showcase at 7:30 pm that evening. Tickets to the public reading are $5 and may be purchased at gorillatango.com or at the door.
