Taught by Paul Selig, Full-Time Instructor in the Rita and Burton Goldberg Department of Dramatic Writing and a Professional Playwright.

A playwriting workshop required of all students. Builds on the principles learned in the Craft of Dramatic and Visual Writing. Students are required to complete 50-70 pages of a full-length stage play with an outline of the complete play. The first third of the course focuses on exercises to help students develop a story idea with the complexity and depth to sustain a full-length play. The reading and analysis of four to six dramatic texts is required in conjunction with the student’s original work. Students must come to the first class with two ideas for a full-length play. Each idea should be described in a one page summary.
