Playwriting Workshop II

55-4310

Students work with a well-known playwright to develop dramatic sense for scene and overall movement of stage plays, the most important and basic form of script literature. Students read examples of plays and write in class. If possible, plays students write may be given staged readings by accomplished actors. Course focuses on major aspects of starting the play: scene and character development, dialogue, theme and narrative development, shaping of acts, and sounding the play in the voices of peer writers and actors.
