Collaborative Play Making
@ P.S. 130
Program Overview
Welcome to Hook & Eye’s after-school collaborative playmaking program! Together, we’ll create an original piece of theater from the ground up. Students will work solo, in pairs, and in groups to brainstorm ideas and write a brand-new play inspired by their own interests and imaginations.
Once the script is complete, the creative process continues! Students will design sets, costumes, and props to bring their story to life on stage. They’ll also rehearse their roles, building teamwork, communication, and performance skills along the way.
At the end of the semester, students will present their work to family and friends—a joyful celebration of their creativity, collaboration, and growth.
We’re thrilled to offer this program in both the Fall and Spring semesters this year. Each semester will feature a different theatrical focus, so students are welcome to join for one—or come back for both!
