Session 3: How to Write a Play in a Day
Now that you are starting to craft your story, discover a medium where you can convey your story simply through your characters and dialogue. Learn the mechanics of writing ten-minute plays (the most widely produced plays) and learn how to structure your story in the confines of ten minutes. (Part 3 of a series, but attendees may take this workshop independently of the others.)
