Carefully consider and engage with the 2023 season’s playbill through university-style lectures on the topics and themes explored in the productions.

The Process of a Playwright

From an idea at the back of your mind to a production on a Stratford stage. Led by Director of the Foerster Bernstein New Play Development Program Keith Barker, along with Andrea Scott (award-winning playwright actor, and producer whose most recent play is Controlled Damage) and Morris Panych (playwright and director of this season's Frankenstein Revived), follow the playwright’s process from an initial idea through writing and editing, then bringing it to the stage. Understand how critical elements are added and changed as a story moves toward an audience in a process that is deeply personal to each playwright.
