Theatre 33 Playwriting Online Summer Course

Theatre 33 offers high school students across Oregon an online playwriting course each summer.

Students in a playwriting course at Theatre 33

Theatre playwriting course is full.

Professional playwrights teach students from across Oregon the process of writing a play, starting with pre-writing and ending with a polished draft.

The Tuition for this course is $600.

HOWEVER, Theatre 33's mission includes providing art education to all students, emphasizing those from rural and underserved schools and communities. Given that objective, and thanks to an anticipated generous grant, full scholarships will be offered to all participating students.

This is an online course. Two-hour sessions once a week for ten weeks. Class Begins Thursday, June 25 thru August 27, 2026.

For more information, contact: Thomas Nabhan, Theatre 33 Executive Director at: tnabhan@willamette.edu
