Course Description

Summary

In this class, students will read a large canon of plays by current female playwrights working in the American Theatre today. These will include writers featured on the Kilroy List, Susan Blackburn Award Winners, Lily Award recipients, among others from my own personal list.

Work will include: play discussion, staging of selected scenes read, creative and critical written responses to plays covered, and research
