A hands-on workshop in playwriting

Rachel Bublitz organizes this playwriting guide around guided exercises, writing prompts, and scene study. The material introduces dramatic tools and the elements of a play, while also making room for the uncertainty of early drafts and the discipline of developing a writing practice. Its workshop format gives the subject a practical shape: readers work through activities as they move from an initial idea toward a completed draft. The emphasis is on building craft through practice, rather than presenting playwriting only as a set of concepts.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People beginning to write plays who want structured exercises and prompts
  • Teachers seeking playwriting activities for students
  • Playwrights interested in revisiting dramatic tools and strengthening their practice
