Graduate Seminar to Explore Contemporary Playwriting

Theatre 802.07, to be offered at Ohio State Unversity's Department of Theatre in the Spring Quarter 2009, will explore contemporary playwriting in North America; graduate students will be assigned a current writer, and look at how that writer produces work, gets it produced, and manages a career. Writers will be drawn from playwrights whose work is archived in the Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee Theatre Research Institute at Ohio State, particularly from the archives two groups, the International Centre for Women Playwrights and the African-American Playwrights Exchange. There will also be writers whose work is collected individually, and work from the Eileen Heckart Senior Drama Collection.
