Welcome to the most dramatic section of Suite101.com!
Making the journey from the page to the stage is a significant one. It all starts with an idea, but where do you go from there?
In this section, you'll learn about starting a new play, various methods of revision (whether you are moving from draft to draft or working with a dramaturge), and all of the steps involved in preparing a script for production.
You'll also find this section to be a useful resource as an emerging playwright. Find out how to get your work out into the world. You can even learn how to write a play in just 24 hours!
