PLAY RIGHT ANY GENRE GOES

nclude a top sheet and make sure that you include the following before the script:

The Plot – a short description
The two characters – a short description of the protagonist and the antagonist
The Theme

Be as in-depth as possible and be creative. This is a fun exercise.  Let your imagination go wild, create your own story – it can be about anything or any genre you like. The rule of thumb is one page of dialogue is about one minute on stage – your script should be about 9-12 pages, no more, no less!!!
