FROM PAGE TO STAGE
New or aspiring writers will learn how to get over the hurdles of beginning the process of going from idea to story to script. Whether what you want to write is all about plot or all about character, or a great combination of both, moving from idea to page to stage is an opportunity to discover your own voice and move it to ‘center stage.’ Class limited to 20.
Instructor: Yolonda Sanders is a published author and playwright whose works have been featured nationally. She is the founder and CEO of Yo Productions, a theatrical entertainment and literary service company.
