Playwriting allows writers to tell stories using a unique medium–live performance.  But how to leverage the opportunity so that writers harness the full power of the audience’s imagination?  This class reviews the fundamentals of narrative structure, with a focus on the creation of a ten-minute play.  The principles will be applied to full-length works as well.  Just click your magic ruby heels together and say: “there’s no place like a theater”. 

The workshop unfolds in five successive sessions over five weeks.  The first session is an overview of the key elements of narrative structure.  In the second through fifth session, plays are read.  Professional actors come to bring the plays to life.  Once plays are heard, writers can use what they learn to rewrite their work and hear it again.  At the end of the seminar, student playwrights will have a full ten-minute play.
