Projects & Contests

Today, please continue to write your 10-minute play script, or your one-act play script, or your full length play script.

Please complete Charles Busch's play critique and The Piano Lesson critique. Today, we will also pick up Fences by August Wilson. This play is NOT due yet, but for those of you who need a head start or want a more leisurely reading pace, you will have the script to do just that. Eventually, we will write a critique of the play, but for now in lab please complete The Piano Lesson/Charles Busch's play and work on the script.

Also:

Gannon, Geva, Lelia Tupper, Rochester AIDS Coalition, Scholastic Writing Awards, and Sokol contests are in. These contests run into January and February. In every case, you have work that COULD be submitted with excellent chances of winning. Instructions and details about each contest are on the front bookcase. You may work on entering these contests for extra credit.
