VetRep Acting and Playwrighting Classes

VetRep's acting and playwriting classes are stand alone classes requiring no prep work, rehearsals, or homework. Each class will feature different aspects of the acting or playwriting craft, allowing students flexibility in choosing the dates that work best for them. Currently, the acting classes are offered on a weekly basis and the playwriting classes are offered on a monthly basis. As enrollment supports additional classes we will continue to add additional dates. Thank you for your amazing support as we embark on this new journey with you!

Specific information on each class is below.

Playwriting for Veterans

"I loved Feydeau’s one rule of playwriting: Character A: My life is perfect as long as I don’t see Character B. Knock Knock. Enter Character B." 

- John Guare

Please note: Only current or former: US military, law enforcement, fire service, EMS, foreign service, intelligence service, DoD employee, DoD Contractor; OR their immediate family members are eligble to take this class at this time 

VetRep aims to develop the veteran playwriting community nationally - but also in the Hudson Valley. Beginning playwriting will cover the basics - setting, dialogue, plot, structure, characters, stage directions - and give veterans a chance to develop storytelling fundamentals with the goal seeing their work come to life onstage. There is no homework though - unless you want to keep working on your play!
