Do It Yourself
Instructor: Jen Nails
For those who have ever felt compelled to write and perform solo material, do it! You will explore different techniques for developing clean, honest characters and full, detailed stories. Emphasis will be placed on gaining confidence while on stage alone as well as on writing freely, without editing yourself. We will work toward structuring your material into a solid 6–8 minute piece. The class will culminate in a performance of your work at the PIT.
January 11-March 1 (8 weeks)
Tuesdays, 6:30-9:30pm

Do It Yourself 2/3
Instructor: Jen Nails
For those who have completed DIY at the PIT, or for anyone who has put up a solo show for the first time and would like to bring things to the next level, this course is for you! As a class, we'll work on editing and shaping your piece and creating a flow. We will identify all of the most important bits in your writing and save those, and help you to let go of the rest. Be prepared to work on, think about and consider your fellow classmates' material nearly as much as your own as part of this "director collective." Students will perform an excerpt of their pieces in a class show at the end of the session, and are also guaranteed one 30-minute slot at the PIT at a later date to perform their full show. *Students who have taken DIY2 or DIY3 before are welcome to register to continue workshopping their piece.
