Description:

This course focuses on the first step in producing a play: The Play Reading. Students will attend 15 hours of readings and critique sessions of new plays in the Short Play Labs and longer Play Labs. Students will examine the dramaturgical elements of the plays (structure, world of the play, language, characters, plots, and themes); the production components outlines in the stage directions (casting, staging, tech/set design); and the discussion of the works by panelists and audience members. Students will keep a journal of their observations and responses to Short Play Lab/Play Labs and will submit a short paper which synthesizes their discoveries about the types of plays being written and the challenges playwrights face in refining and, ultimately, seeing their work produced on stage.
