What Is Script Analysis and Why Is it Important?

Script Analysis is detective work. Under each line there are layers of meaning relating to each character and the overall story arc. For actors and directors, the more you understand of a script, the better your acting choices become. And that, make a captivating performance. For playwrights, the more urgent your scenes. Terry Schreiber brings 51 years of directing and teaching to this special Script Analysis class. Influenced by the work of Harold Clurman, Terry guides actors, directors and playwrights through the process of preparing a script or full production book. Terry Schreiber has worded with hundreds of actors including Edward Norton, Peter Sarsgaard, Jon Orsini & Debra Jo Rupp.
