In conjunction with Ohio Playwrights Circle, The Human Race Theatre Company will offer a series of creative writing seminars at the Loft Theatre in Dayton, Ohio.

At the three-hour Saturday sessions, professional writers will talk about their craft and provide insight into their processes. Traditionally, The Race's writing classes have been focused on the craft of writing for the theatre. "This year, we are focusing on more universal themes to serve writers from a variety of forms, including fiction, film and television, documentary, as well as playwriting," said Kevin Moore, president and artistic director of Human Race.

Cost is $65 per seminar and registration can be made online at www.ticketcenterstage.com or by calling 937-228-3630. Each session runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Here's the schedule:

Oct. 1: Building Character with Michael Slade, a New York City-based, award-winning playwright, librettist, Emmy-nominated television writer, screenwriter and children's author.

Nov. 12: Understanding the Deeper Layers of Your Story with Michael M. London, director of the Ohio Playwrights Circle, novelist and playwright.

Feb. 4: Telling Their Story with Eric Ulloa, playwright of the upcoming Human Race world premiere of 26 Pebbles and librettist of the musicals Molly Sweeney and Passing Through, both currently in development for production. He is also a contributing writer for The Huffington Post and Playbill.

All seminars will be held at the Loft Theatre, 126 N. Main St., in downtown Dayton.
