CREATING A PLAY

The goal of the Fall Semester is to create a rough draft of a one-act play or the first act of a full-length play. The first four weeks will be devoted to writing assignments - both in class and outside - to stimulate the identification of personal themes, interests or questions that can inspire a story. This rest of the semester will be dedicated to crafting a draft that reflects conscientious investigation.

The Spring Semester will provide the opportunity for each student to hone her/his play through further drafts into a finished work. Students will serve as dramaturges for each other. The semester will end with presentations of the completed plays. Each presentation is the responsibility of the author.
