T 350 - Playwriting

Prerequisites: E 110 and T 250 Basic playwriting techniques examining both dramatic structure and the creative process will be explored through a series of specific exercises in order to facilitate the development of a technique based on dramaturgical ideas. Through the study and practice of playwriting, the student will gain a knowledge and appreciation of the playwright's work through their own individual practical application. By semester's end, students will develop one or more longer pieces based on their work in the course. The final exam will include staged readings of each student's work. 3 credits
