THTR 427 Playwriting I: Elements

Students in this class will practice the art of playwriting: reading and writing short plays to discover the structure of dramatic literature and their individual voice within the artform. This course is dedicated to the first part of the process of playwriting: getting a play on to the page, with an emphasis on drafting and refining short pieces from scenes to ten-minute plays, to a one-act play as the final project.
