I am doubtful that there are effective screenwriting classes in  cleveland. 
 If there are, I need someone to point me in the right  direction.  I don't 
want to waste my money on hacks and  posers.  I hope someone can help  me.



 
Have you read Blake Snyder's "Save the Cat!" ?
Have you seen the 3-DVD set of a lecture by Christopher Vogler and Michael  
Hague?
 
I highly recommend both.
 
Then just get hold of screenplays, read them, study how they're put  
together.
There are a number of sites on the Internet where you can download free  
screenplays -- known screenplays, not weird little scripts nobody ever saw.

Then just tie yourself to your desk and write and write and write ...
It helps to have good software, to streamline the process.
