Spelling”Theatre” not “theater””Playwrighting” and “playwright”All right is preferred to alright.Do not confuse “your” and “you’re”, “its'” and “it’s.”Refer to the program for correct spelling of actor/character names, designers names and play title. “Okay” is better than “O.K.” or “ok.”
4. Punctuation Double space after every sentence.Watch for comma splices and run-ons. Comma splice: “Neil Simon writes comedies, Christopher Durang writes satires.” Run-on: “Arthur Miller studied playwrighting and he later wrote Death of a Salesman.”Play titles, works of visual art, long musical works and film titles are underlinedor italicized. Titles of songs are in quotation marks. Never usedouble or multiple punctuation,like this?!! Begin each paragraph with a five space indention. Quotation marks always go outside of commas and periods. Introduce quotations with colons not commas.
5. Syntax and word choiceAvoid doubles; saying the same word or idea twice. Be careful of vague sentence openings, such as: “there is, there are, it was, etc.” Use the full name of a personon first mention; use at least the last name in each paragraph as necessary. Do no use the title of the even as the title of your paper. Do not use “this” alone as the subject of a sentence; it is very confusing to the reader.
