The structure of this class is elastic enough to accommodate a variety of playwriting voices, yet rigorous enough to help each writer power through a First Draft. Because Adam believes the best First Draft writing happens when writers release their intuitive impulses, you'll learn strategies for keeping the conscious, critical mind out of the drafting process. This class will encourage you to tap into your most burning concerns, and then to go beyond that, employing craft to ensure that your concerns will speak to the widest possible audience. The main organizing principle of this class is to support the work that each writer needs to write, trusting that no one knows more about the underlying impulse of a particular play than the author who wrote it.

This is a class of the IMAGINATION. This class will be very much focused on what you are passionate to write a full-length about and what is theatrical – and what MUST be a play. In the class, you will focus mainly on structure, in addition to character, language, and dramatic action. Consider Crystal your producer, that at times you adore and at times you find challenging, but who always keeps you on track.
Our award-winning faculty, comprised of working professionals in the field, provides practical skills and expert guidance in a collaborative community atmosphere.
