This course will involve a more sustained introduction to the creative process involved in writing plays than was possible in Introduction to Creative Writing. Students will be expected to complete several short plays. Much of the discussion of form and technique will be done through close examination of traditional and contemporary models with the hope that students will derive inspiration from them. In addition to critiquing each other's work, students will be asked to write a review of a contemporary play or a collection of short plays.
