THINK ABOUT IT:
Christopher Durang says writing can't be taught; Paula Vogel says we are all born writers; Doug Wright says writers mostly learn by writing.

BUT THEN THEY ALL SAY:
"Talent Aside, Playwriting is About the Craft"
THAT’S WHAT “KICK-ASS THREE” IS ABOUT:
The craft requires an understanding of theatre; structure, rhythm, and arc; writing, hearing, critiquing, and revising.
Participants will complete a one-act play starting with an idea they bring to the first class and honed through writing exercises, group critique, and limited dramaturgy. Instruction will focus on the story arc, the influence of setting, and the play of dialogue within the unique "rules" for a one-act play. Students will be encouraged to send their finished script to a pre-selected play competition.
**Participants are asked to read the one-act play Bus Riley’s Back in Town by William Inge and to bring a copy to the first class.**
Space is purposefully limited, so you get the attention needed to write your best.
