Have you enjoyed the plays and Readers' Theaters at the Essenhaus in Wabeno and thought, "I have great ideas; I should write a play." Well here's your chance. Dr. Daniel Boatright, the playwright who wrote "Falcon Crust," "Showdown at the Séance" and "The Return of Kenny" as well as many Reader's Theater skits of the popular Third Thursday programs, will be teaching a three-day workshop on Aug. 16-18 culminating with a performance of the participants work at The Big Easel on Aug. 18 for Third Thursday Readers' Theater. All proceeds will go to the Wabeno Area Players and a portion will be used for the Youth Scholarship Fund for the Arts.

All the basics and nuances of crafting comedy and converting your great ideas into a production ready script will be covered in the agenda, organizers said in a press release.

What will you learn?

• Finding Your Voice

• Dialogue Versus Narrative

• Action Versus Description

• Beginning, Middle and End

• Choosing the Topic

• Learning About Your Characters

• Building, Developing and Resolving Conflict

• Let's Write a Play

Assisting Dr. Boatright will be Gail Blohowiak, an attendee of his earlier workshop, who went on to write "Let Them Eat Spam," "The Revenge of Spam" and "The SolWriters Sisterhood" in addition to numerous short stories and memoirs.

The cost of the workshop is $50 and again, all proceeds will go to the Wabeno Area Players to support their efforts in bringing entertainment to the area and the growing scholarship fund. Lunch will be offered but is not included in the cost of the workshop. Participants are encouraged to register soon as seating is limited.
