Course pairs student directors and playwrights to develop a playwright’s script. Students begin collaboration by discussing plays in terms of the proposed production. The director subjects the script to a reading series, which results in rewrites by the playwright. The director presents a first-draft production analysis of the play. The semester culminates in a stage reading of the final draft and a final presentation of the director’s production analysis.
