okay i am in a theator class.
and need to write a short script lasting
about 2-3 minutes.

i consider myself very creative, but for some reason am unable to think of a single thing.
i can write stories. i can write poems. but when it comes to plays im useless.

the play is only for two people.
a boy and a girl.

any help, please?

If you can write stories, write one. Then do the script version of it.

Problem solved.

i'll ditto that!

2 or 3 minutes won't make a 'story' though... so just think of a 'situation' that might be over with almost before it begins... what would a boy do and say if a girl pinched him on the rear, for instance?... take any ordinary situation and turn it around and you'll always have an effective little scene...
