Performance Royalties 

In the event that a production is cancelled, we

Competition Advice 

If you’re participating in a competition where it’s 

uncertain how many times you’ll be performing 

the play we recommend ordering performance 

royalties for the number of performances you 

know you will be giving. If you advance in 

the competition, it’s a simple process to order 

additional performance royalties.

DIRECTING THE HIGH SCHOOL PLAY – BE A VISIONARY 

Directors need to have a 

vision for the play. That 

means ALL directors: 

professional, community, 

high school, etc.

Why is it important to have a vision? Because 

vision gives a play a unifying factor. It gives 

the play a drive, a look, a tone. Having a 

vision can bring clarity to a not-so-clear play. 

It helps students focus on the bigger picture. 

It adds to the overall experience. A vision 

gives a director purpose; it’s the creative 

element the director brings to the table. 

And quite frankly, it’s fun. 

Visions do not have to be complicated and 

esoteric. The simpler the vision the easier 

it wi l be to convey to the cast, crew and 

designers. 

There’s nothing wrong with a vision o fun 

and frivolity – just make it clear. Then 

be consistent with what you’re trying to 

achieve. 

For Example 

I directed a version of Alice in 

Wonderland. The line of dialogue that 

rea ly jumped out at me after reading the 

book was from the tea party: “We’re a l mad 

here so you must be too.” I thought it was 

interesting that Alice’s response was that 

she didn’t want to be mad, like she didn’t 

want a cold. 

My vision was to focus on the madness of 

Wonderland and see if the other characters 


MONOLOGUE – CHILL FROM THE SNOW SHOW 


could make Alice crazy as we l. I also had a 

technical vision for the play, which was to 

make a l the fantastical elements practical 

for school use. 

Use this monologue for 

your next IE! 

I created a clear physical division between 

the Wonderland characters and Alice. Alice 

was the only character with flesh showing – 

a l the others were as inhuman as possible. 

I had a trio of girls play the Cheshire Cat 

instead of one to emphasize the madness of 

the world. 

The Wonderland characters also treated 

Alice poorly; shoving her, towering over her, 

pinching her. They hissed at her from the 

darkness. She was not of their ‘world’ and 

the only way she could be is if she changed; 

became more like them. This is how a vision 

translates to the stage. The audience saw a 

production of Alice in Wonderland, 

but the show (from me, to the teacher 

creating the props, to the girl playing Alice) 

had vision. 

Where Does Vision Come From? 

It truly is the fun part! Highlight the one 

word, the one image, the one action that 

speaks to you in the script. Find music that 

represents the story, the main character. 

Give each character a colour. Find magazine 

pictures, pictures of art, sculptures, anything 

that can help you and everyone you talk 

to about the play, SEE the play. Create a 

scrapbook. The more visual the vision can 

be, the better.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! I won’t do it, 

I won’t do it, I won’t! 

He turns to look at an imaginary metal flagpole 

beside him. 

You can’t tempt me oh cold and silent one. You stand 

there so straight and tall, holding your flags day after day. 

(turning his back) I am not tempted. I don’t do these types 

of things. I know what happens. (turning to the pole) I 

KNOW science. Hot and cold. Water and ice. I’m on it. 

You can’t fool me. Every year there is a story of a reckless 

youth, a foolish stupid boy, someone who couldn’t say no 

like I can. I know what will happen. (holding up hand up 

to the flagpole) You’re wasting your time and your taunts. 

Taunt me no more. 

Bookmark our Free Resources page. 

CHILL stalks away but then stops. He slowly 

turns to face the flagpole. 

But. What. If. It’s. Not. True? What if they’re just stories? 

Fabrications? Lies? Your cold and silent stature is a façade? 

A ruse? The whole frozen tongue thing is just an old wives’ 

tale? What if I stick out my tongue and it doesn’t… stick? 

What if nothing happens? It’s tempting. Very tempting.

Not an ordinary lab, SynCryn has the original 

narrative DNA for every story on ice and a plan to 

save the world from story obliteration. It’s an easy 

rebootilization process… so long as there aren’t any 

glitches in the software, or the director doesn’t go 

crazy, or the stories thaw out too quickly, or pirates 

get loose.

high school, or do they get as far away as possible?

wants to stay. The rope is about to break. 


The Tower of Tyler (3M+8W+7 Either) 

Tyler is a star. Everything he touches turns

national essay contests. But Tyler's sister is 

getting tired of keeping his secrets. Maybe 

he doesn't have the golden touch after all. 


Underneath (5W) 

It's hard to keep emotions clamped down, even

bubble, a cloud that calls his name and reaches out 

to him. 

His sister TJ has watched him slowly drift away and 

doesn't know what to do. Is she overreacting? Is it in 

her imagination? Should she tell somebody what she 

sees? Will Jamie ever talk to her again if she does? 

Will everyone see her as a snitch? Is it just pot? 

An emotional tightrope between a sister and a 

brother and what really happens in the world of

Monster

HS/MS/New! 

Starting high school can be 

nerve-wracking and problemfilled. 

Am I going to fit in? Am I 

going to be popular? Will I have 

the right reputation? What if I do 

something that ruins the rest of 

high school? 

Olivia, Sam and Brooke are overwhelmed. They 

think about these problems all day, every day to the 

point that things are getting rather monstrous. They 

are going to have to deal with their problems or risk 

being consumed. Vampires, Zombies, and Snakes 

oh my! What happens when problems get the best 

of you? 

This play was designed for a high school class to 

perform for middle school students and would be an 

excellent “intro to high school” project. Or use it in

gloss, the right skirt. But why? Darcy's keeping

it's only a matter of time before she explodes. 

Moving is a rapid-fire characterdriven

Still (1M+1W) 

Nate and Caroline used to be the Fun Couple: 

nicknames, silly catchphrases and secret 

handshakes. But there's a problem: Nate doesn't

A bittersweet story with a twist - once

Nice 

Girl 

HS 

HS/MS/New! 

Is there such a thing as being “too 

nice?” Mia, a teenage girl at an 

all-girls school, knows how to be a 

confident and assertive young 

woman who is not afraid to stand up 

for herself; the only problem is she 

can only act this way in her fantasies. 

In Mia’s reality, she is the kind of girl who does her 

friends’ homework, lets people cut in front of her in 

line, and pretends to be someone she’s not in order to 

get a boy to like her. 

As she repeatedly learns, being the “nice girl” 

requires a great deal of sacrifice and, often, 

frustration. As Mia eventually nears her breaking 

point, she decides the time has come for her fantasies 

to become reality.

The star quarterback of Riverview High School has 

been charged with murder most fowl! Rooster, to be 

precise. 

Plucky the mascot has been done in and all fingers 

point to the football player - even his own. 

A farce of a trial ensues featuring an inept judge, an 

unprepared defence lawyer, and an Egg-Girl. 

The audience plays the jury in this hilarious black 

comedy. Two possible endings! 


tfolk.me/p47 

Power Play 




A gunshot is heard. Which of the five characters did 

it and why? 

Was it the Goth girl? The football star? The superintelligent 

geek? 

High school violence is a hot media topic, but it is too 

often simplistically portrayed by putting teens into 

tidy categories and pointing at the outsider. 

Power Play explores the realities and the stereotypes 

of high school violence - not just the brutal shock of 

the school shooting, but also verbal harassment and 

bullying. Violence is about power. So is high school. 

NOTE: This play requires the onstage appearance 

of a gun.

The Pregnancy Project 




The project seems simple enough. Everyone (girls

what it feels like to be pregnant. Bonus points go to 

students who wear the belly 24/7. Easy, right? It's not 

as if it's real. 

Lucy, who seems to live the ideal life, isn't finding the 

project so easy. She's a week late. And every day that 

passes is another day when life is far from ideal. 

Each member of the ensemble gets a monologue in 

this issue-driven play. No statistics. No preaching. 

Just well-drawn characters and an engaging story. 


tfolk.me/p93 

Pressure 


Character Study, Choral Work, Issue-Based 

45 Minutes, 5M+11W, Plus Ensemble 

Not a typical "teen angst" play. 

Four teenagers struggle with life. Alex is a refugee. 

Tera is faced with an unpopular decision when all 

she wants to be is popular. Penny is getting up at five 

in the morning just so she can accomplish all she has 

to do in a day. And Kyle can't live up to his parents' 

expectations. It is the week before the prom and for 

these four characters, everything is coming to a head. 

This play is candid and uncompromising, with no 

easy answers or neat and tidy endings. The script is 

ideal for groups who have varying degrees of ability. 

There are parts for both novice and advanced actors.

"Our stories are all pieces of one big puzzle. We try to fit

of monologues. The characters speak frankly about 

their fears, their futures, and their day to day life. 

The serious dramatic scenes are balanced with 

humour, and the play is ultimately uplifting. The 

characters choose to embrace life and all its struggles, 

rather than shy away from it.

Vignette Plays 

betweenity 


Comedy, Choral Work, Vignettes 


HS/MS 

“It’s the grace in-between. It’s the breath left unseen. It’s 

the catch and the break and the hole in the screen.” 

We’ve all been there. The awkward pause. The silence 

where you just can’t think of something to say. The 

space in-between words where nothing is said and yet 

so much is spoken. The state of being between. 

This vignette play explores the beats, pauses, and 

never-ending silences in conversation. The girl who 

tries to tell her best friend she wants to date him. The 

boy who creates the wrong kind of pause. The sister 

who is dealing with the silent treatment. The guy 

who wants to confess but can’t open his mouth. The 

daughter who doesn’t want to talk because talking 

makes her remember. 

An excellent class project play with parts for everyone 

at all levels with a great technique exploration. How 

do you act in a pause?

Funhouse 


Issue-Based, Movement-based, Vignettes 

30 Minutes, 4M+16 Either 

HS/MS 

I’ve had better. Much better. Sneakier. Sit beside me 

at lunch, pretend to be my friend. Bolder. They try to 

drag me into the bathroom. Meaner. Spit at me. Knock 

books out of my arms. Pinch me. Treat me like a piece 

of garbage, think it’s funny to try and make me eat 

garbage, be garbage. 

This play looks at the bullied, the bully, and the 

bystander through mostly non-verbal vignettes. Life 

for the bullied is like a funhouse, but the funhouse is 

anything but fun. 

How can you stand your ground when you’re on 

a falling floor? How can you move forward when 

you’re caught like a mouse in a maze? How can you 

win Whac-A-Mole when you’re the mole? How can 

you like yourself while standing in a distorted hall of 

mirrors? 

There are no cotton candy answers here.

It's time to reveal your secret: You're obsessed with 

your hair. And why shouldn't you be? 

Good hair makes your day. Bad hair gets you 

dumped. 

“Your company is wonderful, I look forward 

to working with you in the future and I will 

recommend you to my colleagues.” 

 

— Amy Learn, Oakville Senior High School 


HS/MS 

Good hair gets you to the prom. Bad hair makes you 

look like an eggplant. 

Good hair means you're popular. Bad hair means hat 

head for the rest of your life. 

It's enough to make you want to tear your hair out! 

But you know what's better than obsessing about 

your hair? Watching OTHER people obsess about 

their hair! Now those people are crazy…

HS/New! 

“Neet. N-E-E-T is Teen spelled backwards. That’s how I

neeT 

Teen 

The theme of our latest vignette play is 

teen life – backwards, forwards and 

inside-out. From dealing with the tractor 

beam of insecurity and doubt, to dealing 

with parents who couldn’t hear you if they tried. 

From fighting pimples to fighting the hallway. From 

knowing math skills aren’t going to get the girl to 

knowing that happy teenagers exist. They may not get 

the laughs, or the drama, or the big monologue, but 

they’re there. 

This play explores many forms. We’ve got everything 

from kitchen sink, to absurd, to movement, to 

audience participation, to song. There’s even the 

opportunity to add your own scene in the mix!

jobs, odd socks, odd one out, odd reactions and odd 

boyfriends. 

Step right up. Step right up. Step inside to see live acts 

of the slightly weird and the nearly harmless. Feast 

your eyes on the miracle of the mildly freakish. Step 

inside and experience Oddball for yourself.

Middle school is the tricky tightrope between being a

first car? Did it take more than one try to get your

the car?" 

What does the car mean to you? 

The car is freedom. The car is a trap. The car is your

Drive across country to change your life when you've

Drive all night for one last fling at the beach. And get 

completely, totally lost. 

Drive your obnoxious brother and your doubly

The road trip. Ever take one? Ever want to? Ever spent 

hours trapped in a car with your obnoxious brother 

eating double double burgers and your doubly 

obnoxious sister whining, "Are we there yet?" Who let

Stupid is Just 4 2day 


Choral Work, Student Directors, Vignettes 


HS/MS 

"My brain says stupid, stupid, stupid and I never listen. 

Why don't I listen?" 

We all have moments of earth-shattering, mindnumbing, 

crawl into a hole and die stupidity. It's 

inevitable and impossible to avoid. You will connect 

and commiserate with these characters, who crash 

into displays, cheat on tests though they know it's 

wrong, do things they were explicitly told not to, fart 

in front of the whole school, and shave their heads to 

impress a girl.

Without the phone there'd be no obscene callers, no

answer? To be yelled at for setting a toilet on fire? 

We all have to wait. How long will you? Could you

Shakespeare Adaptations and Parodies 

Drop Dead, Juliet! 


Comedy, Classical Adaptation, Shakespeare 


HS/MS 

Juliet has had enough! Enough with the poison, 

enough with the stabbing, and especially enough 

with the dying. She wants a new story and she wants 

it now. More parts for girls! More romance! Less 

death! 

Romeo and Juliet will never be the same - or will it? 

Not everyone's so keen on the changes. And why is 

Romeo sneaking off with Rosaline?

Hamlet, Zombie Killer 

of Denmark 

by Chris Stiles 

Comedy, Shakespeare 

35 Minutes, 4M+2W+11 Either, Plus Extras 

Zombie or not zombie? That is the question. 

HS/MS 

In this gruesomely comic adaptation of Shakespeare’s 

Hamlet, Denmark is plagued with zombies led 

by Hamlet's uncle/step-father, the current king of 

Denmark. 

When Hamlet learns from his zombified father the 

plot of his uncle - a plan to turn Denmark into a land 

of the undead - Hamlet knows he must stop him! Or 

not. If he could only be sure… 

A clever adaptation of the Shakespeare’s classic 

tragedy, Hamlet, Zombie Killer of Denmark blends 

the original text with new, zombified dialogue, with 

much of the new text written in the iambic tradition 

of Shakespeare.

evening of Shakespearean silliness! 

HS/MS 

Imagine if you will that "Hamlet" was not "Hamlet" at 

all, but "Hamlette" - a woman! 

This play is a twisty-turny interpretation of the 

classic Danish tale. Why spend four hours telling the 

story when five actors can get the job done in thirty 

minutes? 

Great for competitions. Elsinore has never been this 

funny! 


tfolk.me/p36 

Mmmbeth 



45 Minutes, 5W+5 Either 

Perform Mmmbeth and Hamlette together for a full 

evening of Shakespearean silliness! 

HS/MS 

A hilarious gender-bending take on the Scottish play! 

Everything goes wrong. The witches take over the 

storytelling, Queen Duncan would rather open a 

donut franchise than die, Lady M's a bloodthirsty 

June Cleaver, and the murderers are preoccupied with 

creating a commercial for their services. 

Premiered at the Kentucky Shakespeare Festival!

Mayhem ensues at Much Ado High School. Student 

Council president Don Pedro schemes to set up new 

student Claudio with Hero. Hero schemes to set up 

Beatrice with Benedick. And Don John schemes to 

mess up everything!

The play takes place on an island. Prospero the

This play allows for the performers (as well as their 

audience) to gain a grasp of "The Bard."

Shakespeare stands before you. A book of sonnets in

book? Will you read the sonnets? 

NO WAY!!!!!! 

Shakespeare isn't meant to be read. He's meant to be 

performed, shouted, loved, wept with, cursed over, 

died for, fought for, bled for! 

You might think that's a bit much. Somewhat overemotional. 

You can't understand a word Shakespeare 

says, and now you're supposed to get choked up? And 

bleed? Over Sonnets? 

Fair enough. Start with Will and Whimsy. Modern 

scenes play hand in hand with the original text.

GUILDENSTERN: What should we say, my lord? 

HAMLET: Why, any thing, but to the purpose. You were sent for; and 

there is a kind of confession in your looks which your 

modesties have not craft enough to colour: I know the 

good king and queen have sent for you. 

ROSENCRANTZ: To what end, my lord? 

HAMLET: That you must teach me. But let me conjure you, by the rights 

of our fellowship, by the consonancy of our youth, by the 

obligation of our ever-preserved love, be even and direct with 

me, whether you were sent for, or no? 

ROSENCRANTZ: (Aside to GUILDENSTERN) What say you? 

HAMLET: (Aside) Nay, then, I have an eye of you. (aloud) If you love 

me, hold not off. 

GUILDENSTERN: My lord, we were sent for. 

HAMLET: What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason, how 

infinite in faculty, in form and moving how express and 

admirable, in action how like an angel. In apprehension how 

like a god. And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? 

Man delights not me: no, nor woman neither, though by your 

smiling you seem to say so. 

ROSENCRANTZ: My lord, there was no such stuff in my thoughts. 

HAMLET: Why did ye laugh then, when I said 'man delights not me'? 

ROSENCRANTZ: To think, my lord, if you delight not in man, what lenten 

entertainment the players shall receive from you: we coted 

them on the way; and hither are they coming, to offer you

Hamlet 

Note how Hamlet keeps asking his friends why they 

are there and they keep deflecting him. As the scene 

goes on Hamlet comes to the realisation that his lifelong 

friends are not on his side. How does this make 

Hamlet feel? 

Decide on a past relationship between the three 

friends. How long have they known one another? The 

more you know about the relationship, the more 

Hamlet will be able to emotionally react to what 

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are doing.

out the truth? How does Guildenstern say this line? 

Quickly? Slowly? Remorsefully? 

It is in this speech that Hamlet turns away from his

“former” friends.

Rosencrantz laughs at the line “man delights not me.”

Ten Minute Play Series: 

Be Challenged 



10 Minutes, 

Six short plays 

Our Ten Minute Play Series continues with these 

'challenging' shorts. What makes them challenging? 

The characters are more complex, like in Bottle Baby 

or Sunday Lunch. The rhythms in the scene require 

more specific timing to make them work, like in Oh 

Chad and You. Or there's a twist that needs more 

than simple memorization and blocking like Hall 

Pass and Juice Box. 

All in all, there's a lot packed into these ten minute 

plays. Up for the challenge?
