Students develop new dramatic works through the rigorous practice of rewriting, advancing works in progress toward their fullest expression. Through sustained writing, close reading, and structured critique, students deepen their artistic voices while refining craft-based skills in narrative, character, language, and theatrical imagination. Central to the course is learning to return to one’s own work with curiosity and discipline: to articulate what the writer wants the work to become, identify where it has not yet met those ambitions, ask new questions of it, and take the risks that revision makes possible. The workshop creates space for writers to be vulnerable about their intentions while remaining the authors of the work’s direction. Students regularly present pages, receive rigorous and generous responses, and develop their ability to respond to others in ways that illuminate possibilities rather than prescribe solutions. Students should enter with a dramatic work already drafted or a project with sufficient momentum to sustain a semester of revision. The semester culminates in a reading of each student’s full piece or an excerpt. This course is by instructor permission only.
