Musical Theater class at HB Studio

Playwriting

HB Studio offers a suite of playwriting classes designed to see the aspiring writer from their first idea to a finished script. Whether you are an actor trying to craft a vehicle that plays to your strengths, an erstwhile writer who wants to polish and finish a work that’s been gathering dust, or an experienced playwright looking to develop and get feedback on a play, HB can help you to achieve your goal. Our teaching artists include professionally-produced and award-winning creators in the fields of cinema, television and theater, many of them currently presenting work across the country.

Once you’ve made the leap from concept to the page, HB provides a variety of opportunities for work created within playwriting classes to be presented on our stages in readings or at workshop performances. We also provide collaborative prompts for directors and playwrights to connect on site in service of developing and presenting new material off-site.

I decided to come back to a career in the theater after some 25 years away…I thought that I would spend perhaps a year or two at HB when I started, but I find that I just keep growing
