解析：(从33秒开始，原文重现：Oh, Andrew. Before I forget, I will get to your question, but, now, don't leave without taking the tickets for tomorrow's field trip. I have a last-minute meeting so I can't make it after all. But since you helped organize the trip, I'll let you hand out the tickets. I've got everything you need right here.;从55秒开始，原文重现： Oh, oh, also, please remind everyone about the reception afterward. It'll be an opportunity to ask Alan Altman about his acting in the play, which we can discuss in class next week.)
对话讨论的主要内容是围绕了两个方面展开的，一是学生一开始提出的关于期中考试的问题教授没有直接回答，而是提醒学生准备好field trip，且下文提到了theater，对应选项D的local play;第二个主要内容是讨论Altman教授写剧本方面的成就，下文基本都是围绕此人展开，对应选项C的 playwriting accomplishments。因此正确答案为CD。

答案：C
破题关键词汇：script adaptation
解析：(从21:36秒开始，原文重现：But think about adapting a script...
Yeah, seems like it might be easier, like to start with something that's already written.
Well, actually think about it, transferring that material to a whole different genre, from narration to live dialogue. Imagination is a part of it, sure, but it also requires a lot of technical knowledge of about theater production, acting and so on.)
