Playwriting Workshop - 1

October 6, 2010 - December 1, 2010

Time: 6:30 - 8:30 pm.

In this Playwriting Workshop students will explore structure, character development, premise, writing captivating dialogue, making conflict interesting, writing beyond simple plot points and the rewriting process on both short and longer plays.   Whether you are working on a longer piece or starting something new, the writing exercises are designed to take your work to the next level.  We will also go over the process of submitting plays for production consideration: with a focus on writing the synopsis.  We will also discuss the role of the playwright during a rehearsal/production period and the playwright's interaction with the director and actors.
Prerequisite: some previous writing experience.
