The Art & Craft of Story Making Tuesday, November 10 7:00-9:30 pm State Theatre Classroom 719 Congress Ave. Austin Script Works is proud to present this Master Class with nationally-renowned playwright Steven Dietz as part of our Dramatis Personae series. The class will focus on the “living play”. Since we know that simply putting words and action onstage does not “activate” a play, what narrative strategies must be employed to bring a theatrical story to life? This class will detail candid and tangible tools of the playwright’s craft that can be used to make a play move and change, push forward, in short: come to life.
