Gallery 7 Theatre & Performing Arts Society of Abbotsford is hosting its third workshop of the 2010/2011 theatre season, Playwriting, with Vancouver-based playwright, Lucia Frangione, takes place Feb. 12 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

You can learn how to brainstorm, pre-write, develop characters, write dialogue, prepare a script for performance and more. This workshop is designed for writers looking for input on an existing work, for writers who may be thinking about writing a play and for those who want to expand their general skills.

“It’s not often that a workshop of this kind with a facilitator of this caliber and with so much experience comes along,” said Ken Hildebrandt, the theatre’s executive artistic director.

“This is a very rare opportunity for both the budding and experienced playwrights to gain some valuable knowledge about the ins and outs of writing a play.”

Frangione is an award winning playwright who has extensive experience seeing her plays be produced and published. She is best known for performing her own works, including Paradise Garden, Espresso, MMM, Cariboo Magi, Chickens and Holy Mo!
