Writing Monologues and Short Scenes for the Stage and Screen at the Village Book Store
So you've heard dramatic voices in your head, talking away. You may have a rant or a rave that you need to get down on paper. The Village Book Store is pleased to offer a workshop on writing monologues taught by Becky Cummings. In this 4 part class students will look at the role of conflict on the stage and write from 'one' point of view, and then flip it and write about it from the antagonist point of view. Students will write short scenes that consider character, objective, obstacles and action as tools for stage writing.

Becky Cummings is an enthusiastic teacher who has taught creative self expression for the last 15 years. From boarding schools in the White Mountains of NH, to the inner city programs for men and women in addiction recovery, to summer art camps in the suburbs, Becky helps create a space of community and collaboration.
