Wednesdays 7-10pm, January 11 - February 29, 2012.
Who said Character is Action, Action is Character? Whoever it was was a genius. The focus of this class will be advancing your current play or screenplay through character development exercises as well as further exploration of structure. The eight weeks will culminate in a class room reading utilizing the talents of SCR conservatory actors. If you did not participate in the Fall Session and have already taken a class in screenwriting or playwriting, you might be a fit. Submit a sample of your play or screenplay, no more than FOUR PAGES to the instructor, Cecilia Fannon at ceciliafannon@roadrunner.com.
