Todd Ristau teaches the craft of writing plays with clarity, helpful insights, and great care for the play, the audience, and the playwright. No matter your level of experience, you will see your plays with a new set of eyes and better understand your own words. You won't regret investing in yourself by bringing Todd into your orbit.

Todd examined my play very closely and provided an in-depth written analysis. He suggested several strategies for improvement which hadn't occurred to me before.
It’s often difficult to obtain meaningful feedback, so don’t pass up the opportunity to view your script through the eyes of a professional.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your notes. There are insights I hadn't thought of, and you identify parts of the play that I've never been satisfied with but couldn't put my finger on why.

Nicholas Piper Director Appalachian Festival of Plays and Playwrights
"Todd's gift lies in his ability to help playwrights develop their work into what they want it to be as opposed to what anyone else thinks it should be. His feedback at our new play reading series each year has been instrumental in helping our audience give valuable feedback to a playwright in development."
