Description:

The Playwriting Program trains students in the foundational principles of dramatic writing, equipping them with a wide array of tools to generate, shape and analyze their own work, with the end goal of creating plays that fulfil each student's personal artistic vision.



Writing projects, exercises, workshops, and classes allow students to discover how plays work dramatically, explore new methods of creative generation, practice the challenging art of revision, and identify and pursue their own avenues for artistic growth.



Through class work, discussion, critical analysis, and exposure to a broad variety of styles and forms, both classical and contemporary, the Playwriting Program works to deepen the student's understanding of the medium of theatre and the art of dramatic writing.
