Evolution of a Play: How to Write a Play for Play Fest - Version 1
Recently, I've been going through all the files in my laptop to see which things I can get rid of to make more space for new things. While doing so, I stumbled upon this particular one-act play I wrote in high school. Well, that's selling it a bit short. I didn't just discover this one particular play; I discovered five different versions of this play, all written over the course of two years! Anyway, I've reasoned that, since I never look at these scripts, nor do I intend to ever use any of them for anything later, they're all prime candidates for junking.

The Audio Diary
This is a one-act play I wrote in high school. It's not very good and I will never ever use it. I strongly recommend that no one else ever perform it or use it in any other way. Instead, read it and feel better about your own writing ability. Odds are good that you, whoever you are, are a much better writer now than I was at 17.
