"Hi, this is Laura Turner and today I'm going to talk with you about how to write a project description for a proposal. Of course, in a proposal, for any kind of thing like a production, presentation, research, you're going to want to keep everything in line and everything clear and precise. In your project description, particularly you're going to want to just describe what you're going to be doing in your project. Don't include anything like what kind of funding you need, stuff like that, that's all going to go somewhere else, but keep it interesting, and keep it precise because you not only want to tell people what your projects going to be about, we also want them to get interested in it so that they will pick you, either for the project or they will give you a space in their festival, and I have here a proposal for a festival in which we have listed, in a very short paragraph, what the project seeks to do to produce a new ten minute play to inspire social change, and then gives a little bit of a description about the play, what the play is about and how we're going to plan to do this, the change, of society, in some very small way by putting on this play, so first of all, what the thing is and then how you're going to accomplish the goal. And those are the things that you need to do when you're writing your proposal."
