Ms. Meiklejohn’s fall-semester creative writing class participated in the High School Playwriting Workshop with the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. A DCPA representative Zoomed in with the class once a week for 5 weeks. These workshops introduce students to the fundamentals of writing a one-act play and exploring character through dialogue.
Silver Murphy wrote a 32-page one-act play called " 'Til Death Do Us Part," about a nuclear power plant explosion. The only survivors were Kim and Caroline, who now struggle to recover emotionally and physically. There were 119 entries in the high school competition,
