Short Play Draft

Using your list of characters, list of places, list of actions, list of themes/ideas, create a situation for a short play and write one. Remember that if you decide not to follow the unities of time, place, action, that you should make sure that your staging techniques make sense and would be performable by a troupe of actors. Remember that actors like to have lines and interesting parts to show off how skilled and talented they are. You need to have a large ego to be an actor, generally.

How long? Yes.

When is this due? Next tuesday (June 9).
