Memorable characters come from great playwriting married with great acting. In this class, we’ll steal characterization techniques from actor training that you can use immediately in your writing, including methods in voice, physicality, backstory, and more. You’ll leave with fun new tools for creating distinctive, three-dimensional characters that actors will love playing and audiences will love watching. No acting required, just a willingness to discuss new ideas!

**No walk-ins permitted. You must be pre-registered for this class to attend.**
