Working with the artistic director of LAUNCH PAD and 3 professional playwrights, this 3-week intensive course workshops a new play every week. Student actors, directors, designers, dramaturgs, playwrights, and stage managers learn the vital skills of working on new plays in the earliest stages of their development. The workshop culminates in an invited public reading at the end of each week. Over the 3 weeks, participants have the opportunity to take on different functions in the process.
