This class is for anyone who want to gain the foundational skills necessary for theatrical storytelling. Covering topics like character, structure, dialogue, tone, and pacing, you'll come away from this class with the confidence and tools to start tackling longer pieces. Depending on your goals, we can focus on working your way towards a polished short play or stick to exercises that exemplify the learning process. As a practicing playwright and screenwriter, I am intimately familiar with the process of narrative storytelling. I received my MFA in Dramatic Writing from New York University's prestigious Tisch School of the Arts and B.A. in Theatre from Middlebury College in Vermont. My screenplays have won awards at the Swedish International Film Festival and the Athena Film Festival. Meanwhile my most recent short play, 9.5, won the Theatre Masters Take Ten Festival and was published by Samuel French/Concord Theatricals.
