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!

SCENE 5<br />
Lily is in her room when her mother knocks on the door…<br />
CS: You wanted to talk to me?<br />
L: Before you ask, I’m not marrying the Fire chief’s son.<br />
CS:Obviously<br />
L: I’m going to Powerup but I’m not coming back until Dad promises not to make me<br />
marry that buffoon.<br />
CS:If you’re running away you’ll need some good advice as well as some objects.<br />
She exits and return with a heavy looking wooden case<br />
L: What’s that?<br />
CS:Something that you will only use when you have no other escape.<br />
She opens the case and takes out some objects…<br />
CS: This is a wish encased in a diamond bracelet. To release the win you must break<br />
it and make the wish.This is a poison for someone that will hurt you because it will<br />
happen<br />
Leaving these items in her hands she exit<br />
