August 31: What’s Their Line? A Dialogue Workshop for Emerging Playwrights with Sarah Weynard

August 31st: What’s Their Line? A Dialogue Workshop for Emerging Playwrights

Sarah Weynard

The most memorable stage performances depend on actors’ relationships with dialogue, using rhythm, tension, and action to move the story forward. Rich and meaningful dialogue shapes how actors and audience members perceive the characters and their stakes. In this 90-minute workshop, playwrights of all levels of experience will examine effective strategies and exercises for crafting actionable, authentic exchanges between characters. By the end of the writing session, playwrights will emerge with a range of tools to develop their characters through spoken word, strengthen their dialogue rhythm, and revise their current projects.
