One-Act Plays can run anywhere from fifteen minutes to an hour or more. While technically, the one-act gets its name from having only one act (however long that might be), it's more commonly thought of as a play that isn't long enough to constitute a full evening. Arguably the most popular length for one-acts is around a half-hour.
Assignment: Collaborate with a fellow classmate to create a One-Act Play. You will be limited to a 30 minute duration. DUE: TBD
Criteria:
- A good one-act focuses on one main action or problem; there's not time to get into complicated layers of plot.
- Keep your play to one set and as few scenes as possible.
- Develop characters only necessary to the plot.
