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. (Cross-listed as ENGL 205)
