Writing a one act play can be fun, therapeutic and a potential gift to others. With this in

mind, the Actors Theater of Orcas Island is offering a weekly get--together time for

aspiring playwrights to bring their ideas and writing skills to the group to delve into the

process of turning them into a play!

For many years ATOI produced an annual one act Play Fest at the Orcas Island Grange

which was put- on -hold thanks to Covid. Lately, people have expressed an interest in

the possible resurrection of Playfest and a desire to work on writing plays in general.

Local resident, Kathi Ciskowski, enjoyed the process of having two of her plays

produced, “The Certified Letter” (2015) and “The Sounds of Silence” (2016) during

Playfest. She will be the coordinator of the group and will be able to share some things

she has learned about the one act playwriting process while working on these and other

plays. Aside from playwriting Kathi has written historical pieces for www.HistoryLink.org

which is a Washington State online encyclopedia. She has also been a contributor to

the local newspapers since 1985.

This class will be offered in April - May, dates and times TBD. Please contact us at info@orcasacrors.org or call Lynda Sanders 360-317-5274 for information.
