Kyra credits Schy Gleeson’s dedication to building out the playwriting program at CA, including offering this class in conjunction with the English Department, as one of the reasons for this increased interest. Kyra, who has been involved in playwriting at CA since 9th grade, says that more CA students have become involved with and passionate about playwriting in recent years. ![]() “All of the guest playwrights added to the class in really constructive ways,” Kyra Lauren ’22 says. These playwrights come from a wide diversity of ages, life experiences, interests and backgrounds, and according to Schy Gleeson, offered a “lovely array of insight” into students’ work. These guests included Rosanna Yamagiwa Alfaro P ’93, Deirdre Girard, Alexa Mavromatis, and Andrew Siañez-De La O. Throughout the semester, Schy Gleeson invited professional playwrights from the Boston area to visit the class and provide feedback on students’ work. Schy Gleeson says this opened up an exciting conversation throughout the course about the differences and overlap between play, screenplay, novel, and poetry. Similarly, many students in the course wove in previous academic experiences into their work, including individuals who had been involved in CA’s feature film project and screenwriting course. Schy Gleeson says that the English Department was welcoming of this cross-listing, excited to offer students this unique learning opportunity. With a strong emphasis on reading and writing, playwriting is offered through both the Performing Arts and English Departments.
