The Gulfport Arts Center proudly presents an eight-week play-writing workshop given by local

playwright Tinamarie Hansen.  Ms. Hansen is the recent recipient of two “Cathy” Awards presented by the Gulfport Community Players for Best Original Writing and Best Production/Direction for her one act play Buying Back Brooklyn. She is a 2007 graduate of Eckerd College's Creative Writing program. Over the course of the workshop, students will discover the elements of playwriting, and will be guided through the process of creating a 10-15 minute one-act play.

The workshop is being held on Tuesday nights from 6:30 to 8:00pm, July 12 through September 6, 2010, at the Arts Center. The cost for the 8 week workshop is $75.00. Space is limited so pre-registration is encouraged.
