THT 310 Playwriting

A workshop on the art and craft of playwriting with the goal of creating a professionally competitive one “act” or ten minute play for possible production. Plays should not only be creative, effective, and marketable, but will also be morally responsible in terms of a Christian aesthetic. Lectures on craft issues include voice, structure, format, and the play development process. Class members are expected to produce a one “act” or ten minute play, to evaluate their own work and that of others in the class, and to complete various exercises and assignments given throughout the semester. Prerequisite(s): ENG 111  with a grade of “B” or higher or permission of instructor. Every other spring. 3 hour(s). FAR
