Drama at Terroir: New ways to ignite your ideas
One of the best parts of attending Terroir is the chance to learn across genres. Don’t identify as a playwright? You can still take away a lot of new approaches and get inspired by our resident dramatist this year, Lolly Ward.
Lolly Ward’s plays include Mate (The Actors’ Gang; California Institute of Technology), 72 Objects (semifinalist, O’Neill NPC), Black Press in the White House (Smith and Kraus, 105 Five-Minute Plays), and The Ethel Party (Silk Road Review). She co-founded LineStorm Playwrights and lives with her family and two chickens in Portland.
