DISCOUNTS FOR NUEA WEST MEMBERS

20% OFF FALL PLAYWRIGHTING WORKSHOP WITH TREY NICHOLS
Saturdays 10am - 1pm
September 6, 13, 20, 27, October 4, 11, 18, 25
Trey Nichols is offering 20% discount to his fall playwriting workshop for NUEA West members.  The workshop is geared for intermediate to advanced playwrights, though new writers are welcome.  In a fun, supportive, and rigorous atmosphere, each playwright brings up to eight pages of new work to be read aloud and discussed in depth each week.  At the conclusion of the 8-week session, readings are held in a casual setting with local actors.  The aim of the workshop is to further the development of each playwright's unique voice and vision, with the goal of completing a one-act play or the first act of a full-length play by the end of the 8-week course. Many plays developed in the workshop have gone on to receive readings, workshops, and productions at theatres around the country. Trey Nichols is a playwright, actor, and solo performer, and has written more than a dozen full-length and one-act plays, including THE MEADOWS, FATHERS AT A GAME, ONE SLIT HEAD, and BODY FOUND.  His solo show, A LESSON IN PROPER BOW-FLUFFING TECHNIQUE (Storey Productions/Moving Arts), was nominated for a 2005 Ovation Award for Solo Performance.  His most recent play, SUNNI TRIANGLE, received a staged reading in The War Plays Project, produced by playwright EM Lewis.  Trey is a company member and the former Literary Director of Moving Arts, the highly acclaimed theatre in Los Angeles where from 1995 to 2007 he produced and moderated the company's Playreading Series and aided in the development of many new plays by playwrights from all across the United States.  Trey received a B.S. in Theatre from Northwestern.  He is a member of the Dramatists Guild of America and the Alliance of Los Angeles Playwrights. 
The workshop is limited to eight playwrights. The venue is a private residence on LA's westside.  Fee is $250 ($200 for NUEA WEST members). For info about the next session or testimonials, e-mail treynich@gmail.com
