REWRITE

Over the course of a semester (or year), this class will focus on the relationship between playwright and director during the development of a new play. Playwrights must bring in a full-length play that is ready to be worked on. Over the course of the semester, we will work through notes—directing readings, staging, rewriting in collaboration, rewriting in rehearsal, cutting, learning when not to rewrite and how playwrights talk about staging—all in the building of an effective artistic collaboration. This class will meet for four hours once a week.
