Looking for a show similar in format to Gurney's The Dining Room. It needs to have multiple characters and multiple, individual scenes as separate vignettes. I'd like to use it for an actors workshop (Please check out the post in the Acting section of the discussion board). Any ideas?

The Tennis Game - or the Tennis Match - or something like that. Also by Gurney.

"Greater Tuna" or "Tuna Christmas." Many vignettes, lots of characters.

Dearly Departed is constructed of comic scenes which would each probably stand alone -- many with only two to 5 characters.

What comes to mind is a show called Skidmarks: A Play About Driving...

It's a very, very simple show with lots of vignettes, but also with room for character development. Very fun.
