COURSE OVERVIEW
The audience has one chance to comprehend the dramatic import of your lyric. Is it clear? Is it about one thing? Does it move the story along? Does it employ the highest level of craft? We'll look at typical Act One Songs: Openings, I Want Songs, Conditional Love Songs, Antagonist Songs, Energy Songs, Act One Closers and assist you with your Act One lyrics through sharing and feedback in class. Craft is stressed: song structure, perfect rhyme, meter and scansion, and best practices for working with composers. Suitable for anyone who has been writing theatre lyrics or wants to learn.

COURSE OVERVIEW:
Ten-minute play festivals grow in popularity around the world, with readings, productions, and publications at every level of theatre.

This class helps you join their ranks and gives you the tools to write to the highest level of craft. This ten-session course is a combination of lecture, reading, writing prompts, discussion, and most importantly, in-class sharing of your work for feedback. All levels welcome. Topics will include the elements of a successful ten-minute play, dramatic structure, generating ideas, character development, giving and receiving constructive feedback, effective rewrites, formatting your play, submissions, and log-keeping.
