Short Play / Screenplay

You will write a ten minute play or a short screenplay. If you're writing a stage play, you must have more than one character in this story.

You may write about anything that you wish.

You may adapt someone else’s work for this assignment.

You will use your Weekly Eight to complete this assignment.

If you're writing a screenplay for your final project, you should write a screenplay for this assignment.  If you're writing a stage play?  Write a stage play for this assignment.

The scripts written for this assignment OFTEN go on to be produced as Open Frame films and as short plays in our biannual Short Play Fest (through Introduction to Theatre class).  You may want to write the script in such a way that would make such a production more likely. You're not at all obliged to -- but there's nothing like SEEING your work produced to inspire more creativity.
