Script-writing

Alva Theaters will one day produce its own plays on its own stages. For right now, we focus on learning how to write the world's most emotionally impactful stage play scripts. 


Alva Theaters believes that story engines are the key to emotional impact. Getting a story engine started is tricky, but achieving a full-duration burn throughout a 2 hour show is the hard part. Playwrights should consider themselves story mechanics: rocket engineers in a sense. A story can be written without an engine, but engines are what separate the boring scripts from magic.


Please explore the educational resources below the 2 script samples.
