Santa Monica College’s Continuing and Community Education is currently registering students for a new six-week playwriting course, “The Magic of the Theatre: Writing for the Stage,” which begins Jan. 2.
The class will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Tuesdays at SMC’s Bundy Campus, 3171 S. Bundy Dr. Students will get the opportunity to explore the art of dramatic writing through exercises in creating ideas, characters, dialogue, action and conflict, and in finding the writer’s voice. They will also write a one-act play, or a portion of a full-length, and have the opportunity of having the works read by professional actors.
The cost of the class is $95. Students can register by calling (310) 434-3400 or by going to http://commed.smc.edu.
