GARDNER-WEBB UNIVERSITY THEATER PLAYWRIGHT'S WORKSHOP Each fall, Gardner-Webb University Theater stages a new full-length play in our Playwrights' Workshop with the playwright present on campus to assist with rewrites and development. 2003 was the inaugural year for this Workshop. A play entitled Dogfall (written by Scot Lahaie) was the 2003 selection for this workshop. Dogfall is a drama that explores the ethical questions surrounding doctor-assisted suicide and the right to die movement. Established playwrights interested in developing their work in a workshop format should make contact with us to discuss their projects. The 2004 selection for the Playwright's Workshop is A Mysterious Way by Steven Walters. This two-person play is a philosophical drama about free-will and humanity's relationship to God. A challenging work with a great dramatic appeal. ... ...... Gardner-Webb University Theater also sponsors two additional programs encouraging new plays: 24 HOURS and the New Plays Festival. The first of these two programs challenges our own students to write, rehearse, stage, build, and perform six new ten-minute plays in a single twenty-four-hour period. It is an exciting program that has generated some very interesting scripts. While each spring in our New Plays Festival, we stage six short plays resulting in a published collection.
