Playwrights' Retreat - Columbus, Ohio - July 2004
Alan Woods, Director of the Lawrence and Lee Theatre Research Institute, The Ohio State University, organised a very successful and inspiring playwrights' summer retreat at the institute . Below are some photographs taken by Vicki Cheatwood and some first person accounts/reactions.
A number of the playwrights had never met before, but knew each other only from their emails to the ICWP-L email discussion List.

Alan Woods writes:
It’s true that writers are blessed by whatever higher powers exist--the group of playwrights gathering
in Columbus in July proved that.
They cheerfully put up with construction, knots of soccer camp and other teens, uncertain hot water supplies, a persnickity printer, and a student movie being filmed around them--and turned out reams of material, writing at what looked like red hot heat and speed.
It was a privilege to host them, an honor to hear the work, and a pleasure to meet so
many listservers previously known only electronically. Onward!

This newbie loved it and learned and learned and learned from all the
great people there.
I also laid some ghosts from the time I lived in Columbus in the 70s...might be a play there. AND got a much better draft of my current opus!
Can't thank you all enough. And for Alan Woods, thanks don't even begin to cover it.
