[stylist] Learning Project Writing Plays

[Eve Sanchez]

Hi. Thanks for the great suggestions. I am wondering though about the
structure of playwriting. Do you write the description of the scene before
or after the dialogue, action prompts, etc? Things like that. Also, is each
character's line written as a quote? Do you have a small sample piece you
could attach so that we could see how it is done? That would be great.
Thanks for your time with this. Eve
