Here are your tasks:

 

1) Spend some time with the website of the one-minute play festival found here:

 

http://www.oneminuteplayfestival.com -- check out some of the links to the one-minute plays that are featured in the festival. What do you notice? Another possibility is to look up "one-minute plays" on YouTube and see what you find.

 

2) Now, write your own one-minute play using no fewer than two characters. Be sure to include pertinent stage directions. 

 

3) Have fun! Don't worry about writing a master piece. Just work on putting together a one-page or one-minute play that features a couple worthwhile characters who have something to say! You're free to take complete liberty with this assignment.

 

4) Check out the "dialogue tips" handout under 'Course Materials' which will help you put your play into proper format.

 

5) Share your play with us!
