SCRP 1200 Foundational Playwriting 3.0 Credits
This introductory course will guide students at any level of prior experience through the process of writing a ten-minute play. Through reading contemporary scripts, discussing the mechanics of dramatic structure, and completing short writing exercises, students will become familiar with the basic elements of writing for the stage. In the second half of the semester, students will write several drafts of an original short play. The course will culminate in a collaboration with the theater department, in which acting students perform a reading of the completed ten-minute plays in front of an invited audience.
