This online class is for playwrights who want the tools to transition from stage to screen. Writing for television has the potential to be not only artistically satisfying, but lucrative as well. In this 8-week class, you'll interact with Jason and your classmates live via the Citrix platform for weekly online lectures on pitching, plot outlines, and then focused feedback on your pilot. During these sessions, everyone will read their work aloud just as though they’re in one room together here in our studios! By the end of the semester, you’ll be well on your way to a submission-worthy pilot and have the means to create powerful, distinctive, and commercially-viable television.
Previous online students please note that this class will follow a different structure than the ESPA Online First Draft class. See below to learn more about our live lectures and interactive Citrix platform!

About the online platform for this class:
Citrix’s GoToMeeting is an easy, effective, and efficient way to interact online in a personable way without any complicated set-ups. The person running the meeting sends out a meeting link and at the time of your class, you just click the link to launch your attendance in the live virtual classroom experience. In the virtual classroom, each participant can share their webcam so that you’re not only hearing your instructor and classmates but seeing them too, making it feel similar to being in one of the studios at ESPA. If you can’t log in via a computer, there are also options to phone in to the meeting so you can still participate in the class, even if you find yourself without computer or internet access. And GoToMeeting has an iPhone and iPad app, making it possible to take part in class from any device.
