Character Names

THE PLAYWRITING SEMINARS > FORMAT > FORMAT EXAMPLE > NAMES

The first letter of each Character Name is centered, with the Name then continuing out toward the right margin. What you do with these names for your characters and the descriptions of them is your first chance to show your Voice as a playwright.


				JOAN
	How are you?

				LARKIN
	Fine . . . fine.

And keep in mind that Names have Meanings.


WORD PROCESSING TIP: Use Tab settings for the alignment of Character Names rather than the Center function.
