Theater faculty member Denise Pullen just sent out the following note:
Just want to make you aware of a special topics course offered in through the theatre program Spring 2005: Special Topics: Playwriting. It is a 3 credit course that meets M,W, and F from 10:30 am to 11:50 am. The student will study playwriting form and will write a one-act play.
I'm not sure why the class seems to be scheduled for 80 minute blocks, I'm guessing that's a typo... but at any rate, I'm blogging this because anybody who is interested in new media would gain quite a bit from a playwriting class.
If you are at all interested in writing creative new media (interactive fiction, hypertext literature, fictional works in blog form, etc.), or if you simply want to flex your writing muscles, I would recommend this class. I presume it will count for "artistic expression," so talk to your adviser when you get the chance.
Whoa. This is so weird it's not even funny. MY NAME IS SARAH ROSENBERG TOO. In case you're wondering how I found you, I was bored and looked up my name on google and I found your blog. I'm 13 and I live in Chicago. You're from Cleveland right? My dad's from there. This is so, seriously weird. Are you Jewish? I'm half, thus the Jewish name. The weirdest part about this though is that I play piano too (since I was six) and I love writing and reading (I want to be a author/journalist).
