"My friend Marc Unger's very funny and smart show Thespian quietly and often hilariously explores universal themes of love, validation and acceptance." 

- Stephen Adly Guirgis (Pulitzer Prize winning Playwright "Between Riverside and Crazy", "Jesus Hopped the A Train" and many others)

MARC UNGER'S 8 WEEK WRITERS WORKSHOP STARTS MON. APR. 7th, 2025 7-10pm

"Whatever stage you're at, Marc really helps you dig down into  your next writing project.  He teaches concepts in a very concrete way... and he's kind!" 

- Wynette Yao (award winning Documentarian)

Join Marc Unger, writer/director of the hit series Thespian (seasons 1&2 now on Amazon, Tubi and Seekatv) for an eight week online workshop designed to help writers looking to strengthen all aspects of their scene and script writing.  You will be asked to bring in a complete or partial draft or some ideas for a webseries, episodic series, short film or one act play and the goal will be to develop the work and get as close to a finished draft as we can. Course will include a weekly three hour Monday night group meeting from 7-10pm as well as up to one hour of individual online or phone coaching each week.  Topics covered include:

- Story structure and heightening the stakes

- The elements of a scene

- Thematic unity

- Narrative flow

- Creating compelling characters and situation

- Understanding the three act structure

- The importance of rising and falling action

- Learning how to get the most out of every line of dialogue

WORKSHOP INCLUDES A FINAL ZOOM READING OF YOUR WORK BY PROFESSIONAL ACTORS 

Over a 30-year career, I've been lucky and thrilled to work with hundreds of aspiring writers, comedians, production companies and even a computer game software company to develop concepts and ideas into fully realized work. I'm driven by a strong urge to help other writers find what's been missing in their work and LOVE seeing the final project.
