 Topic: Any Short, Sweet, and Clean Scripts out there?Posted: 2/03/10 at 5:36pm |

My friends and I are interested in performing some short plays at our
school, but the problem is that we have no idea what scripts are good
AND short. Preferably no longer than 20 minutes long in any genre, we
want to perform this in front of elementary, middle, and high school
students, so please help us OUT! It would be greatly appreciated.

"The Mistake"
Heuer Publishing www.hitplays.com 2 men (Flexible casting—see note below) Running time: 20 minutes Synopsis: Finger-pointing, name-calling, and shocking revelation! Blame, guilt, and a verbal battle royale that has lasted for years, (all of their lives!), through childhood’s laughter and as an adult’s sad tears. "The Mistake" is a fast-paced character study of two friends revealed in a nostalgia-based argument of comic memories, charged bickering and banter, and an unexpected reversal. A madcap, modern, private conversation and a humorous biting look at best friends. While "The Mistake" was originally written with two male characters in mind, it has been successfully produced with a mixed gender, male and female casting, as well as an all female cast. The casting is flexible. Have fun with it! |

Check out David Ives' "All in the Timing." It's a collection of one-acts - most very short - that are hysterical. My favorite is "Words, Words, Words" in which three monkeys are in a room typing. It's fun to act in - and very funny to watch.

David Ives! Absolutely! My favorites in "All In The Timing" are "The Philadelphia" and "The Universal Language". Sure fire. Great for all age groups. Tristanrobin is a genius. (And so is David Ives!)

I love All in the Timing, but not all of it (especially The Philadelphia) qualifies as "clean.'
I know that there is some script surgery that can happen to The Sure Thing for high school productions but you need to get permission for that. |

Pamela Parker's 'Grass Widows'. It has won every one act festival- high school and professional (including SETC), that it has been performed. One set, easy light/sound, 3 females, 2 males(one of them plays the part of a dead man, his lines are easy, his treatment is not)
Very funny, very clean.

I have some funny, short, clean plays suitable for schools. One was just published by Brooklyn Publishing, and the others are listed on my website and/or blog.
