The Rosemount Area Arts Council will be offering a playwriting class beginning on Monday, February 6, 2023 and will run on Mondays through February 27, from 1-3 PM. This is a four-session class which will give the student a comprehensive study of the history and practice of playwriting, with exercises which will enable the student to work toward writing a short play. The student will receive instruction as well as practice in observing the world as a playwright, creating settings, building characters, writing a scene, building conflict, balancing the comedic and the serious, and copyright law.
