The first course devoted exclusively to playwriting at the University since 1928 will be given next year. Herschel C. Baker, Chairman of the English Department, said last night. The course will be taught by Assistant Professor of English Robert H. Chapman.
While details are not available due to Baker's absence, it is expected that admission to the course will be very restricted. It is possible that some of the plays written in the course will be produced by the New Theatre Workshop, a part of the Harvard Dramatic Club.
The last playwriting course at the University was given by Professor George Pierce Baker '87, who taught here from 1907 until 1928. Several plays written in Baker's course were produced by professional companies. The most successful, Frederick Ballard's Believe Me, Zantippe ran for 11 weeks in Boston and 20 weeks in New York.
