EIU’s Dramatic Writing emphasis combines theatre and English to develop playwrights and storytellers. Students strengthen skills in character, dialogue, structure, conflict and theme while exploring how scripts become performances. EIU’s production season connects writers with actors, directors and designers, offering insight into rehearsal and performance. Classic and contemporary works, along with guest artists, broaden students’ understanding of dramatic storytelling.
