Wednesdays, 7-10pm, March 28 - May 16, 2012.
for Intermediate and Advanced Playwriting students, this class will be churning out an entire play. The first night of class, each student will have to orally outline the story and characters. Scenes will be read each week in class by each participant. Copies of the scenes read will be sent to each member for their written critiques after the scenes have been read. That way, there will be full participation. I will provide guidelines the first night of class for the written critiques. There is such a sense of incompletion when a draft goes unfinished, that I'm hoping this class will supply this sense of accomplishment. I will read and comment on each completed script submitted.
