This whole thing started a Few days ago. My Dad called me up and asked me to write a three act play for the kids at his school to perform. I have four weeks to do it and I have no idea what I’m doing! It’s supposed to be a three act play about bullying in school. It’s for eight to twelve-year-old’s to perform. I have a little bit of an idea of what to do, but I’m lost as far as how many scenes should go into each act. I could really use some advice and help on this one. I know I’ll be able to write it, but I just need some inspiration to go off of to do it. The cool thing about this is I’ll be able to see the play performed!

That's awesome. Good for you! I have more experience with television ad audio drama writing, but I advice you to take a look at a few plays. Google may help you. Also google the formatting to see how they do it. That's what I was told to do for tv writing, and it worked wonders.
