About (inter)Generations
In our free (inter)Generations program, BETC teaching artists guide students and older adults 50+ as they write short plays. Program participants will read and discuss plays, take part in collaborative interviews and in-class writing exercises, then create new plays inspired by each other’s life stories. Inspired by programs at the New York Theatre Workshop and Storycorps, our (inter)Generations program is led by BETC teaching artists Heather Beasley and Josh Hartwell. The session ends with a plays-in-progress reading of the scripts created by students, featuring BETC actors.
