Description

This workshop is part of our annual Arts Week celebration, a creative experience unlike any other. Immerse yourself in this class each morning, and then choose from among a variety of unique community arts projects in the afternoons. Learn more about Arts Week—and join the fun! 

This Arts Week workshop is eligible for Tiered Pricing.

This scriptwriting workshop teaches you skills you can begin to use the next time you work on a project, whether it’s a play, screenplay, or television script.

Playwright, director, and author Rosary O’Neill takes you through the fundamentals of good narrative storytelling as you consider the nature of scenes and find out how to become more conscious of scenes around you to create compelling stories no matter what genre you are working in.

You then write about your personal experiences and shape them into short scripts. As you do so, you learn about narrative structure, point of view, and scene development.

We write alone and together, exchange ideas, and respond to each other’s work through an interactive process with scenes read aloud. Finally, we work on 10-minute scenes from prompts.

This scriptwriting workshop is for anyone with any level of scriptwriting experience, from novice to professional.

Tiered Pricing

At Omega, we believe that the benefits of a holistic education should be available to everyone. We also recognize that what is affordable for some will not be for all. We are now offering Tiered Pricing* on select programs to help meet the varying financial needs of our community.

On programs where Tiered Pricing is available, select the price that is appropriate for you. This program works on an honor system. Keep in mind that the highest price reflects the cost of the workshop and allows Omega to sustain itself, whereas the lower prices cover only a portion of those costs.

Tier 1: $425 (Register as you normally would for this pricing.)
This is the true cost of your workshop. Choosing this price helps Omega continue to retain world-class teachers and sustain classroom facilities.

Tier 2: $350 (Enter TIER 2 in the Promotional Code Box when you register.)
This is our partially subsidized price for those with temporary or minor financial need.

Tier 3: $275 (Enter TIER 3 in the Promotional Code Box when you register.)
This is our heavily subsidized price for those in need of deeper financial assistance.

*Tiered Pricing is subject to change and cannot be combined with other discounts.
