Playwriting
with Brian Egland
This twice-weekly online playwriting course will be an active learning one where the ideas, strategies and principles, won’t just be talked about, but done in real time. It is the intention of this course to help the developing playwright to define their voice and perspective so that the words they write are the words they feel, and can be felt by those it's been written for. This course will culminate in public reading with professional actors.
