August 2024 Workshop: Adapting Stage Plays for the Radio with Bill McCann

 

Monday, August 12, 2024

7pm - 8:30pm EST

​

​

Bill McCann's "Adapting Stage Plays for the Radio" begins with the assumption that participants have written a stage play and are familiar with the general conventions of writing them. So instead of focusing on the basics of playwriting and how they apply to radio, this workshop will  be on adapting stage plays into radio dramas.

​

We will listen to a 10-minute radio play, discuss the differences between stage plays and voiced dramas, and spend time doing one, possibly more writing exercises depending upon available time and questions.

​

His own stage plays include the full-length play Boats Against the Current that premiered at Somerset's Flashback Theater in 2019. Some of his shorter works have been produced in Louisville, Berea, and elsewhere in Kentucky. Mr. McCann recently completed his MFA in Creative Writing from Eastern Kentucky University. He previously received his MA in Theatre from the University of Kentucky.

​

DETAILS: Monday, August 12, at 7pm EST. All are welcome to attend.

​

There is NO fee for the event, although a donation to KPW (link below) would be greatly appreciated to allow us to continue our mission to promote and encourage the development of new works for the stage by Kentucky playwrights.
