Playwriting II

(3 Credits)

Students will take what they've learned in Playwriting I and apply it to developing and writing an original, full-length play. Students will review the fundamental components of playwriting while exploring specific elements of scene, character, dialogue, theme, etc. that apply to full-length playwriting. While traditional playwriting models will be embraced, alternative narrative modes and avant-garde structures will also be introduced. This is a workshop class; students will present their work to the class for analysis and discussion throughout the semester.
