Just some random thoughts....get an idea in your head about what kind of lesson the character is trying to get across to the audience. This helps with the dialogue.

Decide on how many characters. The class I took
dealt with staged RT...the kind where the characters and narrators are all lined up, some sitting and some standing. Once you get the script written, mark off the dialogue parts, then go to the narrator parts. This helps makes the separate parts per student more even. Your narrators can do the speaking for the characters as welll....like thoughts in their heads type of deal.

The

other ones I wrote were just characters talking back and forth to each other. It also seemed to work but didn't follow any rules. My goal was to practice reading in another form and my feeble attempts at writing RT seemed to do that....rules or not.
