In this workshop course, students will learn various approaches to dramatic playwriting. We will be reading works of established and new playwrights, discussing dramatic structure (including conflict, exposition, events, action, motivation, subtext, character, etc.) and most importantly using writing exercises both in class and at home to develop a short play. Each student will complete a play of at least 10 minutes running time in length as a final requirement of the class. The completed plays will be performed in a public reading.
