Play Writing and Dramatic Literature
This class is only offered at RSA. No where else can you take an English class that gives you UC credit for studying plays and writing them too. Students will study the works of modern contemporary playwrights such as Ibsen, Shaw, Wilson, Hellman, O’Neill, Williams, and more. And students get to write their own one-act play which can be produced by the Directing class or staged as Readers Theatre. We will also be looking at film and screen writing.
Pre-requisite: Open to juniors and seniors only. Open to students in the magnet only. Students must have taken Theatre 1 or Introduction to Theatre. This class counts as junior or senior English credit for the UC system.
