Write a research report on what distinguishes “good” and “bad” scripts. Prompt: Imagine you are a theater critic tasked with writing a review of Dear Evan Hansen. Would you recommend this play to others? Why or why not? Write an essay in which you explain your answer. You may choose to write this assignment as a standard argumentative essay, or you may choose to take it in a more creative direction by really adopting the persona of a critic. Cite and analyze at least three moments of the text to help support your claims.
Questions to Consider:
What makes a script “good” or “bad”? Were there moments that you found particularly entertaining or boring? Characters you liked or disliked? What did you think about the music? What themes are present in the play? Does it present these themes well or do you disagree with its overall message? Did reading its script leave you satisfied in the end?
Formatting: All assignments should be double-spaced with one-inch margins, typed in Times New Roman 12-point font, proofread for spelling and grammatical errors, and formatted according to MLA style.
