One Week, One Act: Playwriting Intensive

Class Description

In this playwriting intensive class, you will have the opportunity to workshop approaches to playwriting as well as receive an introduction to playwriting format and structure, study dialogue from texts both past and present, and eventually draft your own original one-act play. The structure of this four-day intensive class will play out very much like a 12-hour one-act play festival where you will have the opportunity to develop ideas, develop characters, write, workshop and rehearse all leading up to an informal stage-reading that will be shared with the class. By the end of the course, you will have written a complete first draft of your very own one-act play to further develop in the future.

Note: Class does not meet Wednesday, August 28th.
