The Cannon Beach Library and the Coaster Theatre Playhouse will cohost an informal workshop with playwright Rob Urbinati on Saturday, March 23rd from 3 to 5 p.m. This workshop is open to anyone interested in beginning or furthering their aspirations as a playwright.

This is a FREE event being held at the library. No registration is required; show up early to save your spot. Rob will discuss the craft of playwriting, with a focus on developing ideas for plays, adapting for the stage from other sources, and getting started by writing a 10-minute play.

Rob will be in residence at the Coaster Theatre to complement the second weekend of his play Death by Design, a hilarious mystery mash-up described as “the intricate plotting of Agatha Christie meets the brilliant wit of Noel Coward.” Death by Design runs from March 15th through April 13th at the Coaster Theatre Playhouse in Cannon Beach.

Rob Urbinati’s published plays include Hazelwood Jr. High; Murder On West Moon Street; Mama’s Boy; and Jane Austen’s Lady Susan, published by Samuel French/Concord, as well as Cole Porter’s Nymph Errant published by Broadway Licensing, and Miss Julie En Hollywood, co-written with Mario Garza Jr., published by Next Stage Press. His plays have received over 300 productions world-wide. His book,“Play Readings: A Complete Guide for Theatre Practitioners” is published by Routledge Press. Urbinati has directed for Classic Stage Company; Abingdon Theatre; Lincoln Center Directors Lab; Culture Project; Cherry Lane Theatre; York Theatre; Pearl Theatre Company; and Public Theater in New York City, as well as theatres and universities across the country. He is director of New Play Development at Queens Theatre and a member of the Dramatists Guild.
