Overview of class

THEA 382-0: Playwriting: Cheap and Funny New Plays
Theatres are always in search of comedies and new plays that are cheap and easy to produce. What are the essential elements you need to tell your funny story onstage, and how might "less is more" be an approach that opens up possibilities for your new play? Students will study examples of great plays that cost little money to produce and then craft a 45-page one-act play.
