Congratulations, your stand alone scenes are refined! Now it's time to learn how to connect scenes meaningfully in a shared world and cohesive piece of theatre. 

You'll learn how to create satisfying characters and gratifying arcs and many of the tools that allow us to expand a single suggestion into 30 minutes of material.

Once we have first beats down, we'll work on ways to bring themes, games and characters back in our second and third beats.
