About this event
---Instructor: Rich Amada--- Every other Tuesday: 1/11, 1/18, 2/1, 2/15, 3/1, 3/15, 3/29, 4/12 – 8 weeks REGISTRATION DEADLINE: JANUARY 8, 2022. No late registrations permitted. You’ve got a story to tell, and you just know it’s destined to be a success on stage or screen. But, before the actors utter a word, before auditions are held, before the director or designers even begin to think about the production, you’ve got to complete the crucial first step — writing the script. This class will guide you in the art of crafting a script that is artistically, commercially, and technically producible. Among the topics to be covered are: the essence of drama; creating believable and interesting characters; structuring the plot; creating compelling dramatic action; the proper script format; and adapting a stage play to or from a screenplay. The class will also cover important legal aspects of the business that every writer should know. As part of the class, each student will be guided in the creation of a short play that will then be performed as a reading by actors in the final class. This class will be held online via ZOOM.
