Ah, the cast list. Oh, the drama. The casting would be simple if it weren't for constant script cuts, actor trade agreements, backstabbing, helicopter parents, hysterical prima donnas, and the Assistant Director could figure out how to incorporate the songs of Grease into Romeo & Juliet without getting sued. This is a show for any student who has ever been cast or miscast in a school play or any teacher who has ever attempted to post a list without serious backlash. Comedy One-act. 30-35 minutes 10-30 actors, gender flexible

One Act Plays for Kids is the creative result of my work with Bottle Tree Productions acting students. The kids in these classes are from 6-12 In our ten week acting sessions, we get together for the first two or three classes and do theatre games, improv stories and basic acting techniques. Usually the students come up with story ideas, characters and they work out an initial improvised story which I then turn into a script. King Hector the Horizontal is the story of a brave princess who climbs a mountain to slay a dragon and save the kingdom guppy getaway is an underwater fantasy about life under the sea for a school of guppies who get lost in the ocean Night of the Gnomes is the story of Four garden gnomes rise up in rebellion against their human masters. Toys in the Closet speaks to the imagination in all children-The idea that their toys are alive Our Acting Classes are a safe place for students to share their imagination and creativity. Theatre is a place where kids can bond with other like-minded kids. Their skills are honed in front of a jury of their peers. They quickly learn what works and what doesn't. Their ideas form the basis of these scripts. As a result these plays do not speak down to kids, but speaks for them, using their own words, their own thoughts and their own imaginations.
