Write a two-minute-long script with a minimum of two characters. The rule-of-thumb is a page and half page of dialogue will last about two minutes. Write about what you know or about anything you imagine. The subject, period, place, and language are totally up to you. It is not a film, show don’t tell, the actors should speak and perform the actions. It is best to keep the cast small and the location(s) simple with a minimum of stage direction. You will be collaborating with your classmates on how to produce your work as you will work with them on their scripts in a support capacity, such as director, scenic designer, sound designer, costume designer, composer, sound designer, etc. Post your script for class comments in the “Discussions” link.
