Stage Writer's Guild

About

The UHS Stage Writer's Guild was established as a subdepartment within the UHS Theatre Arts Department in October of 2023 with the intention of advancing young writers within the department. It was established in conjuction with the spring production of Shakespeare's The Tempest in order to modernize the script of that show for our audience and actors.  The students translated the script into their own words.

The goal of Writer's guild is to help increase our writer's outputs to overcome writer's block and help our members refine their writing skills.  We celebrate the concept of putting any words to paper with the understanding that once they are first put down they can be edited and progressed to a performance-worthy/publishable form.

We work to produce personal projects and projects that are useable in the Theatre Arts Department for many of our events, including mainstage shows, one act plays, scene work, speeches, monologues, poetry, prose and academic works.
