Screenwriting Workshop at Primary Stages ESPA

Jordan Peele's triumphant debut took home the Best Original Screenplay this past weekend. And as he admitted in his acceptance speech, he stopped writing the movie 20 times before finishing it. Don’t let your Second-Act Problem stop you from finishing your script: Get Out there and join us for an upcoming Screenwriting workshop!

Kate Cortesi (Screenwriter, New Line Cinema)
Saturday, April 21 and Sunday, April 22
10:00am – 5:00pm both days

Meet the infamous Second-Act Problem head on in this 2-day workshop at Primary Stages ESPA by exploring strategies for developing a problem-proof premise and conflict. Proceed through your second act with two principles in mind: how your hero needs to be tested, and how your audience empathizes and delights in the hero’s process. Screenwriters of all levels are welcome to join, but familiarity with three-act structure prior to joining this workshop is highly recommended.

Our award-winning faculty, comprised of working professionals in the field, provides practical skills and expert guidance in a collaborative community atmosphere.

Primary Stages ESPA provides students easy and convenient payment plans to break up tuition. For more information, call 212.840.9705 x215 or email espa@primarystages.org.
