Playwriting, one of the written narrative forms of telling a story, in addition to being practically unknown to the general public in Brazil, has had a paltry presence in the Academy. Aware of all the difficulties and particularities that involve the teaching of Dramatic Literature and the practice of its writing, NEEDRAM (Research Centre in Theater Staging and Dramatic Writing), active in defending the importance and relevance of Drama in the contemporary theatrical scene, created curricular emphases of Playwriting at the undergraduate and graduate levels at Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), and in 2021, it expanded its field of activity, proposing to Seniors Study Centre (NETI) a workshop for the production of plays, so that its students could learn to tell stories, their own and those of others, in this literary format, and whose reception and results, some surprising, will be addressed in this article.
