Student Blog: My Three Favorite Plays I've Read This Year, and Why Everyone Should Read Them
by Student Blogger: Meredith Muirhead
- Nov 23, 2021

Sure, we’re all assigned plays to read in our classes, but those are only the tip of the iceberg. There is so much more to explore in terms of theatrical writing than Williams, Mamet, Miller, or Shakespeare, and not all of those works, if any, will be taught in most college theatre classes. College is the time where all of us are really finding ourselves, and it only makes sense to be finding out what material draws us in so that we can work on what we truly connect with.
