Writing Genre and Honing Craft

1 Unit · Undergraduate

Advanced courses developing core skills in chosen areas of dramatic writing: either studying and crafting plays of specific genres (e.g., farce, plays with music) or exploring one element of the playwriting craft (e.g., writing action, writing point of view). In genre courses, students craft a short original play. In craft courses, students build a portfolio of scenes, vignettes, and monologues.
