Have you ever wanted to write your own movie or play, but don’t know how to get started? Join Yale Drama Prize winner Neil Wechsler as he unlocks your ability to create unique characters and write the dialogue you always wanted.
This workshop will focus on each student’s creative voice and help you tell the stories that you have always wanted. Neil will help you construct dialogue and work through the process as you watch peers in the class read your lines. Through a series of questions, Neil will help you craft opening scenes that will set your play or movie on the path to completion.
