enroll in DRAM 244 for 2.0 units for the Spring 2020 semester at SD City
College. If selected student playwright must be available on varying dates for
workshops, talk backs and productions between Jan 30-Mar 14, 2020. No

·

characters.
·
Ten
Minute plays should have a single setting.
·
Selected
Playwrights will be work-shopped the first two weeks of the Spring 2020
Semester. All plays are considered workshop productions and will be treated as
such. This means that if your play is selected you will work with the
dramaturge and director of your show to find its final form. Playwriting is a
process. San Diego City College is an educational institution and is committed
to the development of student writers. This means that all work is considered
“in progress.” It is the goal of The One
Act Festival to foster new playwrights. That means that students must be
malleable and open to continuing the development of their scripts.
·
The
festival will be a collection of 6-9 selected monologues and 10 Minute Plays.
