THE SCRIPTWRITERS SERIES

Fall Session 2008 (Sept - Dec)

Scriptwriting for Teens
Scriptwriting for Adults
Scriptwriting is a very independent craft. Students, young or older, will take the opportunity to write a new piece of work or adapt something out of their writing repertoire. They will tackle structure, technique, and play development throughout each semester. At the end of each semester the students will showcase their work at The Scriptwriters Series which takes place at the historical Peel Heritage Complex.

Teens: Ages 10 -18, Tuesdays 5:30-6:30pm, $135 per session
Adults: Ages 19 and up, Tuesdays 6:30-7:30pm, $135 per session

Writers as Directors Program
Have you ever wanted to write your own one act play, audition your own actors, and direct a piece of work that you have written? Then this is the place for you. The Actors Studio is proud to present the Writers as Directors Program. Students will spend six months writing a one act play, based on a vision discussed with the program director. Students will meet 3 times a month to read through work, edit and adapt their scripts. In Feb 2009, the students enrolled in the program will hold auditions, giving all students currently enrolled in the acting, improv or comedy class an opportunity to strut their stuff in a new piece of Canadian theatre. Students will turn from writing to directing and will direct their own scripts, rehearsing once a week with their cast. They will work towards a performance night, where students both writers, directors and actors can showcase their work. Pull out the laptops and director chairs…..we have a show to create!!!!!
*Pre-Requisite: Must have taken an acting or scriptwriting class previously.

Ages 10 and up. Tuesdays 7:30pm-9:00pm, $450 (full year commitment)
