WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Max L.
I'd thought about writing a play before and didn't know how I could actually approach it. With Tori's guidance, the exercises, the supporting material, and the participation of the other students in the class, I learned how I could do this. in the end, I actually wrote two short plays and am submitting them to three places. Thank you, Tori, for opening up a new creative outlet for me.

You have the story, but who are the characters that make it dramatic, funny, and believable? With Tori's hyper-focused class on story structure and character, I am now equipped to write much better plays. I realized I was dropping characters into my stories that I didn't fully know, and appreciate. The exercises she has you do will blow your mind, and help you construct characters that make the story really come alive. Whether you're writing comedy , drama (or a bit of both) Tori's insight, tools and exercises help you develop a richer, more thought-provoking story

Tori does an excellent job at teaching how to write a play. As someone who is paralyzed by the thought of writing via a structured format, Tori encouraged me to write how I was most comfortable and then make the necessary refinements based on the structure. I felt supported, heard and safe in her class.

This workshop is a great intro for writers that want to learn how to develop a 10 minute play. The sessions with Tori were fun, dynamic and entertaining.
