Six Dramas Suitable for Performance by High Schools

33 Days

A play about homeless teens that uses slang and foreign words as a substitute for the earthy language of the street. An innovative, honest script with strong characters.  Written for high school students, but never condescending, 33 DAYS usually clocks in at just under one hour.

Revisioning

by Hope McIntyre

Cast:  3 females

Plot Summary:  Three women are brought together on a convict ship traveling to the New World.  After great hardship,  only one finds a new life at the end of the journey.  This piece uses movement, slides and a unique theatrical structure in order to examine parts of the past that are not taught in history classes.


The Crown Prince of Perfect

by J. Boyer


Cast:  Up to 6 males, 8 females

Plot Summary:  Brian Colby and his wife Sarah are in counselling as the play begins, and it's not going well.  Of course, neither has their marriage.  That's why they're in counselling with Dr. Castle, to help them get through the last of the time they'll be spending together. The doctor means to take them through various stages of their relationship, hoping to show them something positive amidst all their turmoil, but as Brian and Sarah see scenes from their marriage acted out on the other side of the stage, it only serves to underscore all their fears and animosities. As Brian tells his version of events, then Sarah tells hers, they seem to have spent their marriage worlds apart. Whatever made them think this marriage could work to begin with?  Have they lived together all these years without so much as one perfect moment?  And if there were such a moment, if such a moment exists for any husband and wife, where would it be?  What would it teach us, if only we could find it?



Ripple Effect

by Hope McIntyre

Large cast play, written for performance in high schools

Plot Summary:  A high school janitor discovers a poem outlining a desire to seek revenge on the school.  The audience then takes a journey with the janitor as she attempts to discover which teenager may be the ticking time bomb.  Ripple Effect explores the link between violence on a personal level with larger, more global violence.
