From Page to Stage: The Art of Playwriting

Miacademy & MiaPrep Learning Channel

This engaging instructional video transforms students into "writing interns" at the fictional MultiMia Fest, tasked with helping the theater department fix a struggling play production. The video guides viewers through the specific challenges of playwriting, distinguishing it from narrative fiction by emphasizing how plays must communicate story, character, and emotion entirely through what the audience can see and hear on stage. It specifically focuses on the scenario of two friends, Eli and Gianni, dealing with an impending separation, using this plotline to demonstrate writing techniques.
