Instructor: Robert Wray
Cost: $55 Members | $60 Non-Members

The art of crafting good dialogue is an ancient one, stretching back to the Greeks and beyond. It is the life-blood of any story--whether in a play, novel or film--and mastering it is essential if you live by the rule--as I do--of "showing, not telling." In this class we will focus on using dialogue as a way to reveal character and advance action, and we will do so through a close reading of great writers as well as writing exercises.  

Robert Wray is a graduate of the Iowa Playwrights Workshop where he was awarded both the Norman Felton and Zeta Phi Eta Memorial Scholarships. He has taught at the University of Virginia, the University of Iowa, and his work has been produced in New York, regionally, and abroad.
