They’ll share stories about writing in an audio-only, serialized format, as well as how they cast, record and sound-design each episode. 1:30 pm *"Crafting the Screenplay: Three-act Structure" <http://playwrightslocal.org/events/workshop-crafting-screenplay-three-act-structure/>* *Led by Simone Barros* One of the building blocks of the screenwriting craft is the three-act structure. In this workshop, novice screenwriters gain a deep understanding of that structure--including the inciting incident, climax, and dénouement--while more experienced screenwriters enhance their creative problem-solving techniques. For playwrights, this workshop serves as a great way to step into screenwriting, as the craft of playwriting directly translates into the form.
