April 25: “Story for All: Stage, Screen and Page” NOW OPEN for registration!

We are delighted that for this year, our spring one-day program is being co-hosted and organized by three arts organizations in the Greater Dayton, Ohio area: our organization, FilmDayton and Ohio Playwrights Circle. The concept is this: story elements (character, motivation, plot, setting, and tone or ‘voice’) are all part of ANY story–whether written, on film, or on stage.

So… why not get together experts in fiction writing, screenwriting, and playwrighting, to learn about and explore these elements together?

Whether you’re writing for the page (short story, novel or memoir), stage (play), or screen (script or screenplay), you need to embrace and apply these elements to your work.

This seminar will be held Saturday, April 25, 2015, at Antioch University Midwest (900 Dayton Street, Yellow Springs, OH).
