Monday, March 20th – The Dramatic Dilemma presented by Shawn Scarber

Come for quality teaching followed by a critique session.  This is good stuff.

 

Near the Chili’s on the East bound service road of I-30.

Rm. W214

 

Park on the Chili’s side of the building (West).  Enter the West Wing near the parking garage.  We meet on the second floor toward the back of that wing.  Dress in layers.  The church is often chilly.

 

For critique time, bring 8 copies with up to 5 pages double spaced, Times New Roman, 12 font or larger, 1″ margins.  Numbering your pages helps.  You don’t need to bring something to critique.  We will often be teaching the first 15 minutes, so bring paper and pen for note taking.
