Structure

NO EXPOSITION! The play opens in the middle of action, and there is some type of closure at the end.
Excellent

MINIMAL EXPOSITION EVERY DETAIL MUST RELATE TO THE ACTION OF THE PLAY. You've got ten minutes—there's no time for anything extraneous or random. EVERY DETAIL must be relevant by THE END.
Good

2 Pgs of EXPOSITION. MOST DETAILS MATCH THE ACTION OF THE PLAY.
Satisfactory

3 Pgs 3 EXPOSITION. SOME of the DETAILS MATCH THE ACTION OF THE PLAY
Needs Improvement

4 OR MORE Pgs of EXPOSITION. A FEW or NONE of the DETAILS MATCH THE ACTION OF THE PLAY
Plot Development

BIG THINGS and LIFE-ALTERING EVENTS happen. The end is significantly different than the beginning.
Excellent

The PROTAGONIST HAS A JOURNEY. He or she ends up someplace radically different from where he or she began. There is A POINT OF NO RETURN. Once the protagonist crosses the line, there is no turning back! THE CLIMAX IS WHERE A CHARACTER WINS OR LOSES!
Good

PROTAGONISTHAS A JOURNEY THAT IS CLEARLY DEFINED AND FAIRLY EASY TO FOLLOW
Satisfactory

PROTAGONISTHAS A JOURNEY THAT IS DEFINED BUT NOT EASY TO FOLLOW
Needs Improvement

PROTAGONIST HAD NO CHANGE OR ONE THAT WAS NOT CLEARLY DEFINED OR EASY TO FOLLOW
Dialogue and Action

All dialogue is active and all action moves the plot.
Excellent

CHARACTERS SPEAK TO GET WHAT THEY WANT. All characters have DESIRES, and the characters only speak to fulfill their desires. On other hand, DON’T WASTE TIME TALKING ABOUT ANYTHING YOU CAN SHOW. Images are more powerful than words! The dialogue is realistic and interesting (dialogue overlaps, cuts off, is rhythmic, sub-textual).
Good

Many moments of action and dialogue were centered around the main theme of the story
Satisfactory

Only a FEW moments and action and dialogue were centered around the main theme and story
Needs Improvement

NONE of the moments of action and dialogue were centered around the main theme and story.
Characters

Every character is essential to the plot
Excellent

CHARACTERS are OFF-BALANCE IN SOME WAY. Real characters are excessive in some areas and deficient in others. This is what makes a character layered and interesting. Fears, interests, and personality are explored, and characters are unique. Each character has a clear voice uniquely their own. Each character has a reason to be in the scene.
Good

Characters were at least three of the following strong, interesting, unique and well defined.
Satisfactory

Characters were at least two of the following-strong, interesting, unique and well defined.
Needs Improvement

Characters were not strong, interesting, unique or well defined.
Met Requirements

Excellent

Play is 6-12 pages, meets all the required formatting, and has no grammatical errors.
Good

Play is 6-12 pages, meets all the required formatting, and has minimal grammatical errors.
Satisfactory

Play is more or less than 6-12 pages but could be edited required length. Meets all the required formatting, and has minimal grammatical errors.
