Acting Out

Book By: Paul Johnson
Play #: 2322
Pages: 53 pgs
Cast: 5 m, 5 w minimum (up to 30 maximum)

When their teacher doesn't show up, a group of students in a theatre arts class decide to practice their final scenes and monologues. The result is a montage of teenage fears, fantasies, dreams and yearnings. From cheerleader to class nerd, from star athlete to former runaway, each performs a piece for the others. We witness the pain of breaking up, the ups and downs of life with parents (and without), escapist fantasies into the simpler life of a '50s sitcom, role reversals, and more. Presented with humor, honesty and powerful emotions, the scenes reveal the varied personalities of their authors. The boundaries of the stage give them the freedom to "act out." As the lines between acting and their reality become blurred, they make discoveries about themselves, and see each other in a new, more caring light.
