In Community + Conversation about all things Craft with Mfoniso Udofia (CRAFT TALK SERIES)
ABOUT THE CRAFT TALK
Playwriting and screenwriting are loads of fun! Writing action and dialogue that become the basis for what actors do and say in the presence of an audience or on the small screen is a euphoric experience. Fortunately for us, the thrill of writing scripts is right at our fingertips.
In this Master Class, you will have the opportunity to learn from Master Playwright and Screenwriter, Mfoniso Udofia. Here, you will gain the tools necessary to get down to the joy and art of writing plays and TV scripts, sooner rather than later.

Duration: 1.5 hours
