Due Tuesday, Nov. 9.

Write a concept statement for the play you are going to produce for your final project. Be sure to indicate how you think that might be worked out by the production designs, acting, and advertisement. This should be no longer than a typed page. At this point in time, it is not necessary that the group agree on one concept statement for your production. Indeed, initially all the actors and designers should develop their own concept statements. You will have time to arrive at a single statement that you can all live with at some later point in developing you play.

The definition on my computer says that "concept" is "an abstract idea; a general notion." It also goes on to say that concept is a "plan or intention."
