With theaters around the world closed due to COVID, many companies are turning to digital streaming for readings and productions - and even when we’re able to perform in person, this virtual form is here to stay. But plays that are written for the stage do not always translate when they're done on Zoom. Playwriting for Zoom is a brand new art form, with its own rules, limitations, and (yes!) advantages. It isn't the first art form that's arisen in response to the constraints of a particular moment, and it won't be the last. In this 5-week class, learn how to write for this new virtual and socially distant platform.

If you're just stepping into the world of playwriting, welcome! In this 8-week class, you will build a toolbox of the fundamentals, so your first play (and each play you write after that!) can be built on a strong foundation.
