Author Hour
Bring your students, cast, or creative team face-to-face with the writer! In this live video session, the playwright shares insights, answers questions, and offers a unique behind-the-scenes look at the play and the creative process.
We schedule a one-hour virtual session at a time that works for you.
The playwright starts by sharing a bit about how the play was written and developed.
The bulk of the session is an open Q&A with your students, cast, or creative team.
The writer wraps up with final thoughts and encouragement for your group.
No special preparation is needed, though many teachers like to gather a few questions ahead of time to help guide the conversation.
Perfect for:- Drama classes
- Casts in rehearsal
- Directors preparing for production
- Playwriting or creative writing students
Who can participate in the session?
Anyone you like — your cast, crew, full class, or creative team. We host the session virtually and provide the link in advance.
Do I need to prepare anything?
No special preparation is needed. Some teachers like to gather a few questions from students ahead of time, but that’s completely optional.
What platform do you use?
We use Zoom (or the platform of your choice). You’ll receive a private link after scheduling.
What kinds of questions can we ask?
Anything! Students often ask about characters, scenes, themes, writing advice, or how the play was developed. The playwright will guide the conversation.
Is this appropriate for younger students?
Yes — we’ll match each session to the age group. Most Author Hour sessions are with high school casts or classes.
