Participants will analyze and discuss Curt Columbus' Sparrow Grass, Deborah Salem Smith's Love Alone, and George Brant's The Mourners' Bench, along with other works from these American playwrights. As a final project, participants will read and review new play submissions that might eventually hit the main stage at Trinity Rep!
