Course objectives
This course is based around the performance of drama. The fall semester will consist mostly of writing a play, although there will be other drama activities during the semester. The topic and content of the play will be decided on in class.
The play will then be performed during the spring semester, when students will be able to participate in a performance in a real theatre.
Syllabus
  • We will gradually work through writing a play, beginning with ideas and working until we have a full script.
