Graduate Playwriting

Catalog description

This course is a combination of workshop and seminar, which MFA Playwriting students take every semester in residence. Students write and revise a new play over the course of the term, sharing work periodically. Weekly reading assignments (plays, theoretical texts, other literary works, works in other media) are designed to expand and unsettle your grasp of this art form. Requirements include detailed written and oral feedback, lively participation, presentations, and written exercises. May be taken multiple times for credit. Other graduate students and undergraduates may contact the instructor to request admission to the course, based on a writing sample and relevant experience. S/NC.
