Advanced playwriting is an art and also a craft. In the best artistic work, the art and the craft are seamlessly interwoven so that the artist can communicate his or her truth in the most effective way. The goal of this course is to encourage you to explore what you most want to say as a playwright and to help you develop your skill at saying it through the medium of live theater.
