Crash Course in Neo-Futurism
A three-hour workshop diving into the fundamentals of writing and performing short plays in the style of the San Francisco Neo-Futurists!
Our ever-popular crash course into the ongoing, ever-changing playmaking work of Neo-Futurism is back! In this breezy three hour session, you’ll spend an afternoon with other artists, learning and practicing different approaches to realizing your personal narrative and artistic voice… for the stage!
We’ll cover it all– from rudimentary warm-ups to inspiring playwriting prompts to space to share your work and receive the sweet, sweet validation of supportive criticism. We welcome folks of all skill levels to this workshop that will mainly cover the fundamentals of making theatre in the Neo-Futurist aesthetic. We’d love to have you join us!
As a bonus, all attendees receive one free comp to see The Infinite Wrench that same weekend!

Introduction to Writing the Two-Minute Play
A four-week playwriting workshop focusing on creating performances in the Neo-Futurist aesthetic.
In this 4-week playwriting workshop, you’ll generate your own body of work focusing on honesty, vulnerability, and all the highs and lows of being a person! Over the course of the month, you’ll collaborate with a creative cohort in writing, pitching and receiving feedback on original work, devised through theatrical exercises, a plethora of prompts, and collaboration with other artists.
The goal of this workshop is for you to meet new people and artists, round out your artistic practice in a new manner, support the confidence to tell your own story in your own way, and walk away with a brand-new set of your own performance pieces!
We’ll create work in the Neo-Futurist aesthetic of non-illusory performance:
We do not write or play characters. Our performances are for and with the people around us.
We do not pretend we are in a different place or time. It is always right now.
We do not ask our audience to be passive observers, but active participants in the communal work of creating a performance.
