Playwriting Camp 2023
Fighting Words staff and volunteer mentors were privileged this year to work with a gifted, talented and fun bunch of 11 to 13 year olds! Over the course of five days working, we explored playwriting and helped these fantastic individuals to craft their own short plays from scratch. The work each author selected for inclusion is collected here. To all the young playwrights - keep writing all of you! We hope we work with you again soon!

P: I can’t believe we have been together for six years.<br />
B: Yeah, it’s crazy! Penny a question. Have you ever thought about what will happen<br />
to us?<br />
P: What do you mean?<br />
B: like what will happen when we become to old to fly<br />
P: yeah I guess. Why are you asking?<br />
B: Well, I think... we no I… don’t have much time left. And I guess I am just.. scared.<br />
P: We may not have much time left but think about all the time we have lived. Do you<br />
not remember the time we have spent flying over the city when the stars shine and<br />
the moon glistens, or when we flew so close to the ocean we would get splashed by<br />
the water? I could go on forever.<br />
B: I know. I just don’t want to disappear over the horizon and never come back. I want<br />
to live longer so we can continue to make these amazing memories.<br />
P: I agree but the thing is we can not change time. It is what has to happen. We all<br />
must die at some point.<br />
B: yeah but can they just give us one more week?<br />
P: You have less than a week to live?<br />
B: I am not certain but I am so weak I can barely fly<br />
P: oh.<br />
B: Yeah.<br />
