Abstract
In this essay, I will explore my development as a playwright during my time at UNM, and the emphasis I have placed on experimental productions with minimal budget. This culminates in a style of playwriting in which spectacle is created through text, which I name the New Shakespearean Stage, employed in my plays The Break and Welcome to Retroland. Advisors/Committee Members: Gregory S. Moss, Daniel Mueller, Dominika Laster, Donna Jewell.
