Excellent. Well worth the time! My big take away: "Needs to have a moment in the play where most of the audience is struck with "that's my experience" or "I know that." or "That's my biggest fear" or "That's exactly the passion I have always wanted to express" -- I liked a sign with these words next to my computer when I write!
This was broken down beautifully, and your passion wakes mine up for the craft. Thank-you. 🙏🏾
Excellent! Not only did I learn valuable things I really enjoyed listening !
Thanks for posting this. Lots of good, practical stuff stated very clearly.
Take a drink, every time Lauren says "again," (Just kidding) Anyway, this is good stuff! Thankful she took the time to teach this class.
I'm working on a new Oz musical based on the book, we have right now our Act break before they go into the Throne Room, is this a good Act break?
How’s it going?
