Car Plays
We think of cars as methods of transportation; they take us from one place to the next.
But so much dialogue happens in a car! Let's explore the car as a vehicle for human drama -- a place for comedy, drama, horror and anything in between!
To get your brain jumpstarted, watch the video below:

Then, brainstorm on what situation you may be exploring in your screenplay -- will it be a dramatic incident? Something happy? Something scary?
How can you amuse, shock or disturb your audience? The choice is up to you!

Deliverables
For this project, you will write a script that is no shorter than 5 minutes long, and no longer than 10 minutes long.
You will need to deliver a written copy of your script prior to performance for approval -- this can be shared with Mrs. Jurgensen via Teams.
Her email is: ajurgensen@sd40.bc.ca
This script will have to be memorized in great part for your presentation.
You can have groups of two or three people maximum. If you are alone, you may want to create a powerful monologue (maybe it's yourself talking to yourself, or you can pretend to be talking on the phone in a parked car).
Your presentation will simulate a car on stage with the audience as voyeurs who are listening in to your conversation and pondering on the situation you are in.
