Designed for playwrights with some experience as well as those who have completed Introduction to Playwriting, this class takes scene writing, character development, and dramatic dialogue to the next level. Participants will develop the first half or the first act of a full-length play with their work being discussed in a supportive and challenging environment. Weekly reading assignments from interviews with working playwrights will lead to further discussion and weekly assignments involving the participant’s scripts will also be handed out.
