THEA 006. Playwriting Workshop

This course will focus on playwriting and introduce methods that apply to writing for live performance. Weekly writing assignments will lead to the development of scenes, characters, and dramatic worlds culminating in the creation of two short plays. Weekly readings and discussion of 21st century plays will introduce and explore a wide range of stylistic approaches to playmaking. Students will hear their work read aloud in class, and will develop their own theatrical voice through the creation of characters, images, and stories for the stage.
Fulfills a general requirement for all theater majors and minors.
