liv has no idea what you're talking about. But I do.





1. Play must be in real time--Takes place just over the time it takes to put on the play.


2. Play must have only one location.


3. Play must have one plot line.

Spacing/staging, dialogue, expressions/body language.





1. Spacing and staging is about being aware or your audience and your other actors.





2. dialogue is obviously about speech and how you deliever lines.





3. expressions/body language is about making the audience believe you and your character and being realistic. your body language is tells people how your character is feeling without saying a word.
