That is the question.
Hello! Vice-President Isabel here! I am happy to say that our fall show, Sense and Sensibility is coming along great! Everybody is putting a lot of love and hard work into this production.
A group of our thespians recently went on a trip to the Old Globe Theater in San Diego to see Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing for their AP Literature class. We had a great time and got to bond as a troupe!

Troupe # 8328 WCA Charter Affiliated with ITA Basic Rules:
Play writing can be very interesting as writers take into account the actors, stage, and context of their stories. Here is some information on Playwriting 101 part one: Types of plays 10 minute plays: Ten minute plays are usually one scene and no more than ten pages long. These are typically submitted for contests and competitions. It is not just a skit or a gag it is a full length play with a beginning middle and end in ten minutes. One-Act Plays: One-Acts can range from fifteen minutes to an hour or more. They are usually full length plays that are not long enough to be considered a whole evening. The typical one act is about half an hour and has one main conflict. If you are writing a one act you want to keep setting and props a simple as possible because they are usually performed with other one acts making coordination difficult. Full Length Plays: Also called full evening plays, they range from 70-80 minutes or longer. However, it is rare for a play to be longer than two hours. While full length opens the possibility to probe and designs it is still good to keep your writing practical. Musicals: These can range anywhere from ten minutes (though it is impractical) to a span of two hours. When writing these you must also keep in mind the music and lyrics of the characters dialogue.
