Intermediate—Year
This class is open to anyone with a full to almost-completed first draft of a play. Plays are not literature. Plays are meant to be heard out loud, rehearsed, and workshopped on their feet. Plays go through a development process before becoming a rehearsal-ready draft. Once in rehearsal, the work on the script continues into previews. Students will learn how to rewrite in the rehearsal room and how to work with actors and directors on new, unfinished work. This class meets once a week.
