(Offered as THDA 370 and ENGL 322) A workshop for writers who want to complete a full-length play or series of shorter plays. Emphasis will be on bringing a script to a level at which it is ready for the stage. The majority of class time will be devoted to reading and commenting on developing works-in-progress. In addition, we will also hone playwriting skills through class exercises, and study exemplary plays by established writers as a means of exploring a range of dramatic vocabularies.

I also teach Playwriting I (due to recent system changes, this is not reflected on the web page for that course). If you are interested in taking a playwriting course but have never written for the stage or feel that you are not ready for advanced course, Playwriting I is an appropriate choice. Please feel free to reach out to me with questions!
