Pre-req: Experience in play writing. Students of any specialty, who also have experience in play writing, work together in a hands-on laboratory setting to hone vocabulary, dramaturgical engagement and creative skill sets necessary for successful new play development. Participants work during the semester as playwrights, dramaturgs, directors and actors. (Established collaborative teams working on existing productions are encouraged to enroll together as an extension of their rehearsal and performance process.) Students will work on actual plays-in-progress and learn best practices for the care and feeding of these nascent works. Spring semester 3 cr
