Hi Drama 20 students! Today we are in the Computer Lab looking up possible One Act Plays to perform for our final performance project (May/June).
If and when you find one that you would like considered (for yourself or another group), please comment below with the name of the play, the playwright, a brief synopsis, and the number of cast members required (and gender, if applicable).
We will be working on these plays during class time and performing them for the class audience in June before exams.

I like this play; it's pretty funny!
A doctor for superheroes can get rid of powers. Some of the heroes don't want to be super anymore, while others are less convinced.

The Happy Club (for 3 people)
Happy and Pappy, the sole members of the Happy Club, try to make Mopey happy. Mopey, who already feels happy, wants just to be left alone in order to study. After Mopey realizes they won't go away, there is a battle of wits. Mopey eventually uses some scientific knowledge about the limited life span of the sun to win the battle. The members of The Happy Club leave the study hall very depressed. Mopey is free to study once again.

Mary, and her husband, Warren gossip about an annoying friend in their house.
Genre: Comedy
3 actors (originally 1 female/2 male, but works well with any combination)
Duration: 15 mins
Author: Unknown
Brooke is a busker somewhat down on her luck. One day while busking in the park, she is confronted by two chickens — Chuck and Picard — and they discover, miraculously, that they are able to communicate...
Chuck is a very forward-thinking, chatty and ambitious chicken who has been looking after his disturbed, ex-battery cousin since they escaped the coop. He quickly makes a connection between the errie green light that has been appearing in the sky all morning and the strange phenomenon of being able to talk to a human being. He uses this opportunity to present an offer to Brooke which will change their lives forever.
Time of Green is a very funny comic play, with an ending you will never expect!

Overtones by Alice Gerstenberg
For 4 Female Actors
This play is really interesting! It's a drama about two women who are unhappy with their lives.
Each woman is played by two actresses: there's the proper, controlled individual and the emotional individual underneath.
