Il Re Cervo, the King Stag
8+ Males, 8+ Females, 2 Any, 0+ Extras (18+ Total Cast)
King Deramo, seeking true love, is tricked by his evil Prime Minister Tartaglia into a body swap using magic. Tartaglia, now in the King's body, intends to marry Angeline, who loves the real Deramo. Through a series of magical events involving a parrot, an old man, and a host of fun characters, Deramo eventually regains his body and exposes Tartaglia for the evil trickster he is.
Addie and Rouge
4 Males, 8 Females, 2+ Extras (14+ Total Cast)
Addie and Nathan have been best friends forever, so why is he being so distant now? Is it because he's worried about moving into the 8th grade? Maybe it's his new love, basketball. Addie doesn't know; she just misses her friend. To the rescue comes Rouge, a superhero Addie and Nathan invented when they were children. Together, Addie and Rouge take on new classes, mean girls, and the overcrowded lunchroom. Through everything, Addie discovers that people sometimes grow apart, but new friendships are just around the corner.
Unwell
7 Males, 6 Females, 1 Any, 1+ Extras (15+ Total Cast)
Tristan, a scattered and anxious teenage boy, uses an alter ego to cope with the challenges and struggles of growing up. Through facing the forgotten memories of his past, he can heal and move forward in life through honesty with his friends and family. A creative and abstract play that allows us to face the reality of the things in our head versus what we say out loud.
This play was written for my students in 2022 after a disappointing OAP season. My cast wanted to do something original that they could not be compared to. For several months, I interviewed my students on issues from their past, family dynamics, and problems that teenagers face that they wish people understood more. The result was this play, a huge labor of love that I'm very proud of.
Addie and Rouge (Competition Version)
3 Males, 7 Females (10 Total Cast)
Addie and Nathan have been best friends forever, so why is he being so distant now? Is it because he's worried about moving into the 8th grade? Maybe it's his new love, basketball. Addie doesn't know; she just misses her friend. To the rescue comes Rouge, a superhero Addie and Nathan invented when they were children. Together, Addie and Rouge take on new classes, mean girls, and the overcrowded lunchroom. Through everything, Addie discovers that people sometimes grow apart, but new friendships are just around the corner.
Antigone, A One Act Play
3+ Males, 3+ Females, 2+ Any, 4+ Extras (12+ Total Cast)
After her brothers kill each other in an attempt to claim the throne of Thebes, Antigone goes against the King Creon's law and buries Polynices, the brother declared a traitor. Now she must face the consequence of her actions: death. This play is very flexible and may be trimmed for time or community standards.
One Hundred Entrances
3+ Males, 4+ Females, 1+ Any, 1+ Extras (45 Total Cast)
All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts. This quote, probably the most well-known in Shakespeare's work, is also the prompt for 100 Entrances. In this play, we see a group of at least eight junior high or high school actors/actresses taking on many parts: a devious invisible friend, a lost clown, an unlucky vampire, whiny goth girls, desperate student body president nominees, even a student filmmaker working on a film within a film within a play? And many more! These seemingly unconnected scenes speed through many plotlines, and as the play winds towards its conclusion, even some of the characters want to know what it all means. Ultimately, they discover that when you walk through a door, you never know what you may find, or sometimes even what you may be leaving. Funny often, remorseful at times, but always entertaining, 100 Entrances has something for everyone.
Porajmos, The Devouring (Competition Version)
6 Males, 9 Females (15 Total Cast)
Porajmos, The Devouring, is a fictional account of Pieter Stangl, son of the commandant of the Treblinka extermination camp. A loyal German, Pieter nonetheless hates the Nazi regime and the atrocities it visits upon the peoples of Europe. In order to force his son to accept his duty as a German, Colonel Franz Stangl forces Pieter to be the liaison to a group of militant Romani and Jewish women who have been sent to Treblinka to be "broken," then killed. The colonel discovers that the leader of the women, Katerina, was once a part of the Theatre Romen in Russia and offers the group the opportunity to perform a Shakespearean play, The Taming of the Shrew, under her guidance to entertain the German troops.
The Zombies of Webster Street
2 Males, 2 Females, 7 Any, 0+ Extras (9+ Total Cast)
A young fan of a popular television series navigates the trauma his (or her) family is enduring by comparing the trials and tribulations of the show's characters to circumstances in his actual life. Living in a once-perfect neighborhood, the young fan finds that he must combat "Zombies" (addicts) who have invaded the area. The line between reality and fantasy begins to fade as the world he once knew crumbles. Can he survive the end of the world, and what sacrifices must be made to ensure the safety of his family?
With a cast of nine and the option to add extra zombies, this play is flexible enough for a classroom production or contest play.
The Witch Killer of Tavastland
2 Males, 3 Females, 3 Any, 4+ Extras (12+ Total Cast)
In the northern kingdom of Tavastland, Princess Satu flees from the brutal attack of a Witch who intends to tear down the monarchy. To rescue her captured Prince, Satu seeks out Liina, a young witch killer looking to avenge the murder of her family. Trained by the mute war veteran Osmo, and the conniving trickster demon Piru, Liina is uniquely prepared to assist Satu on this quest.
It's the Summer Solstice, and this far North, the sun won't set for three days. But, when it finally does, the Witch will gain the power necessary to finish what she started. So, Liina and her ragtag group enter the dark forest where the witch lives to stop her before time runs out.
On this magical, blood-soaked adventure, conspiracies, betrayals, and plans that are centuries-in-the-making will be revealed, and in the end, Liina won't know who she can really trust.
Wunderland
6 Males, 8 Females, 7 Any (21+ Total Cast)
Alice tumbles down the rabbit hole into Wonderland, where strange things are afoot. A cockneye-accented Cheshier Cat and uptight White Rabbit lead her through the stormy seas of Treasure Island to the Island of Dr. Moreau, then on to the castle of the Queen of Hearts. The White Rabbit loses his head, literally, as the Queen reveals her pledged allegience to the Third Reich. Alice and her remaining friends escape but are pursued by the Queen's guards until only Alice and the tall, misshapen man named Adam are left. As they are loaded onto a train car bound for a Nazi concentration camp, Alice realizes that they will never be destroyed as long as one copy of their book remains. Wunderland brings together many of the books that were banned and burned in 1933 Nazi Germany. It's a reminder to us all that the burning of books is the first step toward Fascism.
