============================================================ #4 -- DRAMATICA USER GROUP MEETINGS (Burbank) The Dramatica Users' Group meets once every month at the Screenplay Systems offices in Burbank. This group is free and open to all Dramatica users, offering a chance to have any and all your Dramatica questions answered face to face. It's also a place to hear of all the latest and greatest Dramatica developments, and most importantly it is a place to see Dramatica in action. The center piece of every User's Group meeting is the Story Breakdown. Every month, we break down another popular story to see how one would approach such a work using Dramatica. Users are invited to review the story before hand and try coming up with a Dramatica storyform on their own. At the meetings, Screenplay Systems will present its storyform and everyone will learn from the exchange and following discussion. The Users' Group meets from 7:00pm to 9:00pm on the second Wednesday of every month at the offices of Screenplay Systems, 150 E. Olive St., Suite 302 in Burbank, CA.
