No Wrong Way to Begin A Play is a prompt-based, generative writing workshop about getting over the hurdle of the first blank page, writing through blocks and creative multitasking. Through improv, dialogue gathering, character finding and world building exercises, you will create webs, bundles, collages and bouquets of new play beginnings.
