Ever wanted to write a play? Or adapt one of your stories to the screen? Hone your dialogue? Figure out dramatic action? All of the above? This scriptwriting workshop will incorporate simple, fun writing exercises and discussion of the elements of a good script (such as openings, character development, motive, compelling dialogue and more), with the aim of helping you write a short script (stage or screen). Whether you’ve yet to write your first script or have several under your belt, this workshop is aimed at anybody who’s ever stared at that blank page (and empty stage!) and wanted to fill it.
Instructor Tom Coash is a playwright, producer, and director. Coash’s plays have been produced worldwide and won numerous playwriting awards, including the National Theatre Critics Association’s Osborn Award, the Clauder Competition, and an Edgerton Foundation National New Play Award. Coash currently teaches scriptwriting at the University of Southern Maine’s Stonecoast Creative Writing MFA Program.
