Students will learn basic playwriting skills and write sketches and plays to practice these skills. Homework WILL be required; most writing will be done at home and will need to be submitted to the instructor online. It will also be beneficial to be able to bring a word processing device (laptop, iPad, etc.) to classes. There will be a performance aspect as well; students will act out each other’s scripts in class to workshop the pieces. The scripts will be performed as staged readings in the spring; students will be asked to attend one or more rehearsals - schedule tbd. This course serves as a prerequisite for submitting a play to the New Play Festival in the summer of 2027; students have the option of preparing a script to submit for acceptance in the Festival. (This class could count for a half-credit of writing/English/elective for homeschool students.)
