Today’s class was chock-full of excitement. Nic Ularu (an award winning scenographer helping us with set design) spoke about set design and showed us pictures of some of the amazingly artistic sets he has created. Then Jocelyn talked about writing the script and the challenges of turning a short story into a screenplay.
But the highlight of the class was a table read of the script. Richard Jennings brought in several talented local theater folks to give us a taste of what it is like to see and hear the script read aloud. Even the slug lines and descriptions were read in a way that made them sound like poetry rather than stage directions. A huge thank you to the people who took the time to come in and do this for us!! It was so amazing to see our characters brought to life. And Jocelyn was totally busted wiping her eyes during the reading.
