This 5-week intensive playwriting course is designed to help you finally move from idea to action. Whether you’re starting with a vague concept, a character, a theme or a half-finished draft, you’ll be guided through the process of planning and developing your play in a supportive and structured environment.
Across the sessions, you’ll learn how to:

- Build compelling characters and dramatic conflict
- Shape the structure of your play
- Create a clear writing plan
- Stay accountable and keep writing
Weekly homework and writing exercises will help you make consistent progress between sessions, so you’re always moving your play forward.
