GENRE STUDY A play is a story that can be performed for
an audience.

• Plays begin with a cast of characters. The cast of characters

lists each character and may include a brief description of the
character’s role.

• Authors of plays tell the story through the plot—the main
events of the story. The plot includes a conflict, or problem,
and the resolution, or how the problem is solved.

• The events in a play build on each other to keep the plot
moving forward.
