Our Playwright-in-Residence, Carter W. Lewis, has designed a pathway of courses to teach the art and craft of playwriting through both scholarly study and practical collaboration with artists in the field.  Each semester provides development and production opportunities for our writers with fellow students, faculty, and guest professionals from around the country. Some of the highlights of the program are the annual A.E. Hotchner Playwriting Competition & Festival,  Student World Premieres, Visiting guest professionals, and a myriad of student-sponsored opportunities for playwrights to see their work realized. The Performing Arts Department's ongoing commitment to playwriting is reflected in the caliber of professional guest dramaturgs, award-winning visiting playwrights, and the ongoing support and success of many of our Washington University playwriting alumni.

Students learn the basic elements of character development, storytelling, structure, dialogue and the elemental differences between behaviorally driven dialogue and prose narrative.

No playwriting experience required. The class is offered as "wait list only". Prerequisite: None.Advanced Playwriting: L15-473Advanced Playwriting is a continuation of writing skills and exercises learned in Introduction to Playwriting. It will move beyond the elements of the well-made play, toward less linear work, breaking with realism, and action created thru language. It will also look at the approach of the writer thru the prism of Multiple Intelligences. The course will make use of actors within the class structure, placing playwrights and actors together in the collaborative script development processes. Those collaborations will include professional actors in the classroom and collaboration with a University Acting Class. Prerequisites: Introduction to Playwriting and permission of the instructor.

The playwriting classes created space where I could be vulnerable while I experimented with different forms of storytelling and strived to find my voice as a writer, scholar, and citizen."―Andie BerryClass of 2017 Quick LinksEventsFormsStudio SpacesPAD FriendsOur PeopleContactPAD Email ListAdditional information Arts & Sciences Graduate Studies in A&SCopyright 2024 by:Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. LouisFollow Us Facebook Twitter Instagram Contact Us: Performing Arts Department [email protected] Visit the main Washington University in St. Louis website1 Brookings Drive / St. Louis, MO 63130 / wustl.edu
