This morning we met to continue discussion and critique of Brenda's yet untitled new play involving diverse characters in a weekly poker game.  Today we read, with continued interest, the evolution of a major character and the possible romantic association of two others, although one of the characters seemed not too interested in the other.
Tip of the week: 
Create Conflict.  The heart of drama; someone wants something and people and things keep getting in the way of achieving the goal.  At times, the obstacles can be common to both the protagonist or hero and the antagonist or villain  The ultimate goal is a laudable one for both parties.
We will have readings of one act plays, shorts and shorters, as in monologues and poems next week.
If you are free on any Saturday morning and would like to be involved in the process of developing plays or have a play of your own to be critiqued, please stop by at or about 10:00am next Saturday or any Saturday that is not a major (Federal) holiday.
