This course examines themes, structures, and effective material that is written for the theatre at the intermediate level. Topics and exercises include the exploration of dialogue and monologue composition, exposition, autobiography, political and domestic social issues, writing for the opposite gender, and structure. Students are required to write scenes and plays that facilitate the development of a technique that is both individual and based on traditional dramaturgical ideas. Students present a folio of plays as well as critical analyses of plays and other works associated with theatre and playwriting. This course is designed for students majoring in theatre and those interested in creative writing and the humanities.
