A continuation of Playwriting I. Students will be required to write longer, more complex scenes of human interaction and depth. Technique and style will be emphasized.

At the end of the semester, a one-act play is to be completed. Each play that is deemed ready will be given a reading before an invited audience. As often as possible, professional playwrights, actors and directors will address the classes. The course will continue the practice of reading and seeing as many plays as possible. The class will be strictly limited to 20 students. Offered periodically. Prerequisite: Playwriting 1, or some previous experience in playwriting.
