Six Thursdays, 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM, starting September 24, 2020. With Dr. Lloyd Arnett. This course is an introduction to playwrighting in two parts. In Part One, participants will study the theory of the art from ancient to contemporary. The sessions will guide participants in crafting “an action” from which a play can be created and take them on through the process of extending that into a “scenario” and the dialogue of a finished product. Part Two will be a workshop in which participants read and discuss scenes they have written on their journey to making a working play. Along the way participants will learn about script-formatting, copyright, submission, and about the process of working on a live performance of their work.
