Are you between the ages of 13 and 18 and want to know about writing scripts? Then this workshop is for you! We will explore the basics of both playwriting and screenwriting in this 3 hour class, developing the different skills needed to write for theatre and film. Topics covered will include the foundations of dramatic structure, script analysis, and proper formatting. Students will leave this session having written scenes in both genres and with a toolkit designed to help them continue their work at home.
