Make it Together!: Two People Find Treasure

Guild Hall is thrilled to be joining Make It Together!, a new national script-to-video project designed to bring young writers’ imaginations from the page to the theatrical screen. Each week Guild Hall will be accepting scripts from young playwrights to be realized, rehearsed, and produced by a team of professional directors, actors, and designers collaborating on Zoom, culminating in the sharing of a professionally edited short film online, both on Guild Hall’s and the Make it Together! platforms.

Joins us as we imagine, create, and Make it Together!

How it works:

Young writers ages 7-13 and their families are invited to submit scripts of up to three minutes in length (about five pages) based off a weekly theme. For an example of a submitted script/guidance on how to begin your writing, please see the sample script.

All scripts should be sent to Josh Gladstone, Artistic Director of the John Drew Theater at joshgladstone@guildhall.org. Please be sure your script includes your name, age, and hometown as well as the playwright’s contact information. If selected, writers will be asked to send a short video introducing themselves and their play to be edited into the start of the video.

This week’s theme: Two people find a treasure. What’s inside? How do their lives change?

Make it Together! originated at Middletown Arts Center. This project is produced in collaboration with Middletown Arts Center and a growing number of regional theaters, artists and organizations.

Game Night

In the past couple decades, game designers have been creating fascinating, immersive table-top games that make Monopoly seem like it was designed in 1905. Game night no longer means suffering through hours of rolling dice in Monopoly or Risk. Today’s newest non-digital board and card games cultivate creativity, problem solving, social skills, and dexterity through clever game design. Join Guild Hall and Game Master Noah Salaway in embracing the tabletop revolution as we play some of the best modern board games on the market the fourth Monday of each month. 

Take a break from the digital age and join us at the table! Ages 16 and up only. 

Game Night: Letter Jam

This month at Guild Hall Game Night we will be playing Letter Jam, the cooperative word game. Letter Jam is a game of deduction and teamwork. Each player has a secret word, unknown to themselves, with one letter revealed at a time. Players go around spelling words with each other’s letters, essentially giving clues to each other about their secret letter. Over time, your secret word will reveal itself to you through the clues you have been given by your teammates. Letter Jam is a great new word game that challenges players in a unique way to work together to solve the puzzle.
