    Save The Cat is a series of books and writing philosophy originally focused on screenplays, so it makes sense that it might not be on the radar of playwrights. However, Save The Cat ideas have been used successfully in other mediums such as fiction, television, and in theatre. Jamie Nash, author of Save The Cat Writes For TV, shares some ideas on how playwrights might use these ideas in theatre. https://twitter.com/Jamie_Nash https://savethecat.com/tv-writing/save-the-cat-writes-for-tv-is-now-on-sale https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1912178/

    If you're a writer like me, you might think that how actors move is not the writer's job. But after listening to movement coach/actor Kathrine Stroller it's clear how playwrights can subtilty and effectively influence an actor's movement choices to better tell the story that has been written. Katherine Stroller's website is katherinestroller.com. Theatrically Speaking, a playwrighting podcast, is a part of the Actual Story Podcasting network.
