WHY
IS THIS PLAY BEST FOR YOUR SCHOOL?
Easy
Choice! Top Quality! All
of these plays were professionally developed by ArtReach Touring
Theatre or were commissioned by Professional LORTS like Florida Rep
and Rep of St. Louis. All have had professional tours to
theatres and schools across the country. Many have won awards
in High School One Act Play Contests, Drama and Thespian Speech and
Theatre Competitions.
Easy Staging and Travel! Competitions
rarely take place on your own stage! These One Act Plays have
been designed to travel to the Contest Host Theatre on that important
competition day. All have easy staging, simple sets & costumes,
minimal props, flexible tech for a mainstage or gym/open facility
performance space. At last your students can worry about their
performance, not the set!
Easy to Adapt with Flexible Casting!
When you license any of our One Act Plays you have permission to cut,
adapt and adjust cast size! You also have permission to make a
video or DVD of the production! At last, you are allowed to
adapt a play to your students' needs!
Easy Budget! These
One Act Plays, can be successfully produced on limited budgets and
by small or expanded student casts with little or no tech
assistance. Many have great background CDs for an easy,
inexpensive professional touch!
Easy Ordering! Follow
the steps to order and pay your royalty, once you've paid,
you're good to go! No complicated applications and the
endless trouble of getting permission to make changes for your
students' needs!
Tried
and True! Our
One Act Plays have been performed literally thousands of times by
many professional theatres such as Stella Adler Theatre, Solano Youth
Theatre, Nebraska Theatre Caravan, Singapore Repertory Theatre,
George Street Players, Fulton Theatre Company, Indiana Repertory
Theatre, Boarshead Theatre, Virginia Stage, Honolulu Theatre for
Youth, Kennedy Center and Sundance Children's Theatre, to name a
few. High Schools, Junior Highs, Middle Schools have been
performing these plays for over 30 years!

DIALOGUE
SAMPLE

"Annie
Oakley" is packed full of the riproaring fun of Buffalo's Wild
West Show! Annie falls in love with showman Frank, but first
she's got to get a few things straight... |
BILL:
Before
anybody knew what happened, Annie Oakley became the Wild West’s
most shining star!
(ANNIE
turns, ALL applaud.)
ANNIE: (hop
and kick) Hot-diggety-dog!
(Sound
subsides, JESS and BILL exit. FRANK helps ANNIE down.)
ANNIE:
I hope you don’t mind, Frank.
FRANK:
Mind? Why should I mind? Just ‘cuz nobody ever beat me in a
shootin’ match before you? Just ‘cuz I used to be Buffalo
Bill’s biggest star! What do I care if I get whupped by a girl?
ANNIE:
You ain’t been whupped, Frank. Why, we’re a team, you and
me. And as I think you noticed, I ain’t just a girl no more.
FRANK: (takes
box from his vest) I been carrying this around for some time
now. Weren’t sure if I should give it to you.
ANNIE:
What is it? A peace pipe?
FRANK:
I decided. If I can’t beat ya... better join ya’.
(Gives
HER a box, SHE opens it, diamond ring. SHE smiles, away from HIM,
then becomes solemn.)
ANNIE:
You gotta understand, Frank. I come into my own now. I ain’t
like other ladies. I come and go and do as I please. And no diamond
ring is ever gonna change that.
(ANNIE
holds ring out to HIM, HE covers HER hands with his.)
FRANK:Annie,
you’s a army a polecats all bound up in five feet of woman.
Don’t ever change, I don’t think I’d survive!
(THEY
look at each other in silent agreement. FRANK starts to kiss HER,
SHE puts out HER hand for a shake.)
ANNIE: Partners?
FRANK: Partners.
ANNIE:
As for this ring, take it back. I got no use for diamonds. (walks away)
FRANK:
But Annie, a fella’s supposed to give his gal a ring!
ANNIE:
I got no use for "supposed to" neither. Buy me a horse I
can call my own!
(We
hear cheers: SOUND
CUE #12.
JESS
enters.)
JESS: (leading
ANNIE, on "horseback") Frank did just that and
every night Annie rode into the arena atop her handsome white
stallion, My Own, blowin’ kisses at her adoring fans...
(ANNIE
turns on the cube, blowing kisses, SHE sees FRANK and blows a
special kiss to HIM. HE catches it on his cheek.)
FRANK:
That’s my Annie.
