Acting and Playwriting

My wife and I will put on our acting hats as we participate in a short drama at church. It's my first foray into acting in awhile. When I recite poems the pauses and inflections seem to come naturally to me. 

Right now I'm mulling the idea of writing a play about an experience in my life; I have so many. Yesterday, I went to the library and briefly scoured through plays by ancient Roman and Greek dramatists. I read a little bit work by Sophocles, Menander, and Euripides. I've written a play in the past and have had an interest in play-writing for years. I also discovered that writing for films is different from writing plays. I haven't delved into it yet.
