AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OFEMILY KLINGENSMITH, for the Master of Fine Arts degree in THEATER, presented on April 5, 2024, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. TITLE: FROM PROPOSAL TO PRODUCTION: THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS FOR THE PLAY, “PHILOTEN; AND HER PATTERN OF PAINFUL ADVENTURES”MAJOR PROFESSOR: Dr. Jacob Juntunen, PhD This thesis details the developmental process for the full-length play, "Philoten; and Her Pattern of Painful Adventures", which was produced by the SIUC School of Theater and Dance in April 2024. "Philoten; and Her Pattern of Painful Adventures" is a one-act play that follows the female protagonist, Philoten, through a series of memories from her past to discover the truth necessary for her future. The characters and some of the circumstances for this play are inspired by "Pericles; Prince of Tyre", a play attributed to William Shakespeare, which was itself inspired by the ancient text "Historia Apollonii Regis Tyri". The thesis begins in Chapter 1 by discussing the origins of the script and the pre-writing research process. Chapter 2 details the writing of the first draft and the editing process over the Summer and Fall of 2023. Chapter 3 contains the final production script of "Philoten; and Her Pattern of Painful Adventures". Finally, Chapter 4 contains a reflection on this development process and a summary of my work in this program.
