Writing the 10-Minute Play

What is the difference between a 5-minute sketch and a 10-minute play? That extra four minutes means everything in this course that will explore character, story and subtext.

During this course students will:

  • Complete and revise three to five 10-minute plays that will be ready for submitting to contests or festivals
  • Experience writing for a director and cast in the same manner used to develop "50 Plays"
  • See their work performed before an audience in a staged reading by experienced actors

$340/$310 early registration, 8 weeks, 3 hours

Prerequisite: Writing 6 or instructor approval. To request instructor approval, email Joe Janes at jjanes@secondcity.com
