Look for this class in a future session.
Do you have an idea or life experience that would make a great play or screenplay? How many times have you said you were going to develop an idea ito a dramatic piece but either never got around to it or found yourself painted into a corner halfway through the first scene? Do you know how to tell a good story? What's the difference between crafting drama for stage and screen? Which is the better form for you? In this class, you will learn the ingredients that go into a dramatic story and the differences in format between the two genres.
