This 6-week workshop is designed for beginning playwrights (16 and older), as well as writers of other media who want to explore the craft of writing for the stage.

In this workshop, we will explore the art and craft of dramatic writing with a particular focus on

• creative brainstorming, inspiration/research,
• developing characters,
• generating stories, and
• the intentional use of language.

Participants will also learn the basics of script formatting, stage anatomy and stage directions. Particular focus will also be dedicated to developing analytical skills and revising creative works. The workshop will culminate in table readings from participants’ work on the final day of class. 

Taught by David Blakely.
