Rehearse and Perform a one-act play in just 2 weeks! In this program, students will develop and expand the tools in their actors’ toolbox as they dive into the given circumstances of a piece, develop believable characters, make strong choices, and collaborate with an ensemble of fellow actors to get to the heart of a piece.
About the Play
The Narrator is ready to start the show, but how is that supposed to happen when nobody else in the cast has read the script and the costumes haven’t even arrived yet? That’s the dilemma faced by eight hapless actors as they prepare to perform “The Greatest Fairy Tale Ever.” The greatest it isn’t. Not when the actor playing the knight struggles to read the script taped to the back of his shield, and the dragon gets a debilitating case of stage fright. To make matters (far!) worse, the Shakespearean actress is in the wrong play yet insists on staying and drawing out her death scene to absurd lengths, which leads the frustrated narrator to storm out before the play is finished. Can the cast come up with an ending that’s not only satisfying but also quick? Audiences will laugh heartily at how the cast comes up with an ending that’s absolutely ducky!
