Dream Play

Dream Play is a sit-down, individual writing activity with a focus on playwriting.

Directions
Have the students write a scene based on a dream that they have had. It can be a good dream or a nightmare. Challenge the students to find ways to take the impossible things we encounter in dreams and portray them on a stage. Make sure the students don't shy away from strange or seemingly impossible stage directions, such as having the stage be underwater or covered in lava. When the scenes are completed, share!
