Playwriting: An Introduction

In this introductory workshop, students will read and write a number of one act plays in an attempt to better grasp the basics of dramatic writing. In addition to questions of craft and storytelling, a focus will be placed on the playwright’s process, the formation of healthy creative habits, and the sharpening of critical skills through reading and responding to the work of both your classmates and colleagues in the larger professional field. The course will culminate in staged in-class readings of student plays. Students will be responsible for casting and directing these readings.
