Advanced Playwriting Workshop

Instructor Young Jean Lee is the first Asian-American female to have had her play produced in Broadway. This workshop will guide you through the process of of creating a script for a full-length piece of theater, and will focus on helping you to make significant progress on and/or complete a draft. You'll be required to write every week and give feedback on each others' work. You can be anywhere in your process--from having no idea what you want to do to being close to a final draft. This class is open to a wide range of approaches and styles--including adaptations and devised work. Both students who have never written for theater and students who have worked on a script with Young Jean in a previous class are welcome. This class is identical to TAPS 178C, except that preference is given to juniors, seniors, and graduate students. Students must email the instructor at yjl@stanford.edu for permission to enroll in the class.
