Book Description
On the final day of classes at Rochester High School, a renegade student takes over the morning announcements and proposes that everyone do something bold. Or unexpected. Or brave. Or stupid. The point is, you may not have another chance, so now's the time to stop being a wallflower and kiss the girl (or guy!). To let your enemies know that you have always hated their guts. Or to do something as simple as climb the rope in gym without throwing up. Through a series of interconnected scenes, misconceptions, grudges, and secret crushes come out into the open in hilarious and surprisingly touching ways. A comedy with a lot of heart, and no regrets. (A full-length version is also available.) Comedy/Drama One-act. 40-45 minutes 4-12 actors, gender flexible

Book Description
It started as a bedtime story. The bunny story Mary’s mom used to tell was pretty weird (and more about death and mortgage rates than you’d expect), but now it’s a way for Mary to remember times shared with her late mom. So she writes it down…and it takes on a life of its own. From a fireman-centric children’s book, to a cutesy animated musical, to a terrifying energy drink commercial – every absurd adaptation creates a new form of the bunny. But does the story even belong to Mary anymore? A heartfelt comedy about what makes stories personal, and why we share them, in a world where everything gets adapted into oblivion. Comedy One-act. 25-30 minutes 10-28 actors, gender flexible

In this magical adaptation of Natalie Babbitt’s classic tale, a troupe of actors recreate a mythical medieval kingdom in the midst of a fierce disagreement over the most “delicious” food. To avoid a civil war, the kingdom sends 12-year-old Gaylen (and his loyal horse, Marrow) on a journey to settle the definition once and for all. On their quest, Gaylen and Marrow must face the evil Hemlock who wants to overthrow the King and Queen, seek the help of enchanted characters (a mermaid, dwarfs, and the 900-year-old woldweller), and calm the increasingly scared villagers of the kingdom. Defining a word has never had higher stakes. Music, comedy, and a look at human foolishness come together in a joyous conclusion. A full-length version is also available.
