Starting with an extensive study of the 2,500 year history of the theater, the student discovers the great writers and plays that are his heritage. Sophocles and Shakespeare, Moliere and Chekhov, the student studies over 50 important plays using a highly structured and creative approach. The student comes to understand what makes these playwrights and their works unique and powerful, and how he can use their ideas and insights to create plays of his own. This is followed by a simple yet carefully designed program to have the student author their own, first plays. As they write, specific skills and ideas are studied and mastered through the course materials, which help the student truly understand the needs of theater, and how to fill them as a playwright.

A major course for major playwrights to be!
