Dialogue Dash at Broadway Theatre District
Dialogue & Quotation Marks Adventure Pack
In the bright lights of the Broadway Theatre District, something has gone terribly wrong. Actors are forgetting who is speaking. Quotation marks have vanished from scripts. Conversations are blending together in confusing blocks of text. Ari Raider has detected a disruption in the dialogue system. If punctuation and speaker cues are not restored, opening night could be canceled.
In Dialogue Dash at Broadway Theatre District, students hop onto the Stage Door Scooter and race into a high-stakes writing mission. To restore the script, explorers must correctly format dialogue, apply comma rules, use speaker tags, and insert action beats that show tone and voice. By organizing conversations clearly and punctuating them properly, students bring structure and clarity back to the stage.
This adventure blends writing mechanics and creative expression with performance, storytelling, and problem-solving.
