Playwriting for Children’s Theater

Bring your ideas to life on stage by learning how to write plays for children and families, from the initial idea to opening night.

The thrill of watching a story unfold live in the theater creates lasting memories for adults and children alike. These magic moments are what I aim to capture in my work. I’ve written multiple novels, including The Last Wild trilogy, and sell-out theater adaptations such as The Box of Delights and Christmas Carol.
