The plays had to be published within the last 80 years, between 10-30 minutes in length and without heavy science, costume, light or sound effects.<\/p>\n<p>These final productions represent a synthesis of numerous concepts explored in the course of the semester. Students explored composition and picturization techniques, scene analysis, how to develop a directorial approach and methods on how to work with actors.<\/p>\n<p>The play direction course is required of all theatre majors in order to graduate. Admission is free for the one act plays.
