Advanced Playwriting

Course Description

“Every play that you write is a proposition about what theater should be and every play that you write is a proposition about what life should be and that’s the joy of it.”
–Tony Kushner

An extension of Playwriting, this course is an advanced workshop in writing for the theatre. In this conference, we will work on several larger projects over the course of the semester, culminating with staged readings of student works. We will focus on the workshop and revision processes, work with writing prompts, hold in-class readings, and study and view new plays by established playwrights.
