This is an old class! Enjoy the notes, and check out the current courses.

Be a playwright, maker of plays. 

 

The first session of this basics-of-playwriting class will include playful writing exercises with a focus on characters and conflict. Exercises will include guided free-writing, monologues and dialogue.   We will also cover standard play formatting during the first session. 

 

During the second session each student will bring their original 10-minute play to class (from guidelines assigned in the first session) and hear the play read out loud for the first time. 

 

Bring a pen/pencil and paper/notebook.  (No laptops, just good old fashioned pen and paper.)  No experience necessary.

Like all the rest, this class meets at 515 Court Street, Brooklyn. This is a small, hands on workshop; space is super limited!
