RULES to remember...

When writing a one act play

for our Fall or Spring festivals: 

• Write your play for 5 or less actors. 

• Write your play to last for 10 minutes or less (Time it as you write it).

• Write your play to be performed with minimal tech. 

• Make sure you have the time to direct and rehearse the play with your cast.

• Team up with someone on the project to have even more fun!

• All directors must bring in a stage manager to be on book.
