Structure: Webinar.

Captioning: For all recording sessions, we enable Zoom's auto-generated captioning. Closed captioning will be available with the podcast (audio-only recording) published on the website. 

Recordings: We are recording this session and will only publish the audio recording record. This is a webinar, so you will be able to see and hear the hosts, but we will not be able to see or hear you. 

I think it's imperative for theatre artists to understand that they have options and there's no one achievement that defines success.

EPISODE SUMMARY

Your career path as a writer is unique to you. Success looks different for everyone. In this episode of Theater Begins Here, we have our first guest, Stacey Rose, joining us to talk about starting a playwriting career later in life. As always, we will respond to questions from the live audience or those submitted via the Membership Podcast: Theater Begins Here Questions Form.

This Episode is for Those Who:

• Are interested in different writing career paths.
• Have recently come to playwriting as an adult or after retirement. 
• Feel discouraged because their career didn't start in their early 20s and they didn't follow the "right" path.
• Feel stuck or that there is no way forward with their career.
• Love Stacey Rose's work and want to listen to her thoughts, ideas, and experiences.

What to Expect:

• This is in webinar format. Therefore, we will not be able to see or hear you. You will only be able to communicate with us through the Q&A section of the Zoom webinar.
• We are running our own tech, so we may take a beat to get set up :)
• All participants must agree to comply with the Membership Participation Agreements.
