DRAM 210 - Introduction to Playwriting

Semester Offered: Fall and Spring
1 unit(s)

Introduction to playwriting explores the process and possibilities of dramatic writing. Course work includes analysis of several plays over the semester, including work by Friel, Shepard, Kennedy, Murphy, and Chekhov, among others. The bulk of the work, however, is work-shopping of student writing. By the end of the semester, students turn in a portfolio that includes a monologue, a short play, and a one-act play, all of which are expected to be revised.

Prerequisite: DRAM 102.

One 3-hour period.
