Maybe you need a little background information. I was taking Theatre Appreciation at Darton College in Albany, Ga. I figured that it would be an easy 'A' because I had always been active in the theatre there, and the guy teaching the class was the director first, but he was also my bud. So anyway, at the beginning of the semester he gave us each a partner in the class and a chapter out of the book to do this big huge oral report on. He gave my partner and me playwriting. I took this assignment as a pretty big challenge because our director had originally been a playwright and I really felt like we needed to go the extra mile to impress him because, well, that's how he made a name for himself for so many years.

But I am a little thick headed and I still wanted to go in there with Broadway caliber work.

ique and creative.....but what should I do. I would have my partner do the text book work and I would write a play give my experiences writing the play then have a few people out of the class perform it. This is where the story goes to hell.
