Our Principles
Our MFA in Writing for the Screen and Stage is founded upon these five principles
Art
What is it I want to say? What’s the best idiom in which to say it?
Craft
What techniques might I use to elicit the response I want from my audience?
Business
How can I see my work funded, produced, performed and distributed? How do I create a portfolio that showcases my voice?
Vision
How can I think about writing in a new way, combine different media, genres, or idioms to envision what playwriting, screenwriting and television could be?
Community
Over the course of the Program you will learn, work and grow together to form a close-knit artistic community with your fellow students – all of whom are wildly talented writers.
