Tabbed by Bob Tucker |
Roles | Minimum Male roles = 4. Minimum Female roles = 3. Minimum total with doubling = 7. Minimum total without doubling = 12. Chorus. The script is about a group performing a British Pantomime, therefore Widow Twankey is intended to be played by a man, and Aladdin by a young woman. The chorus is optional (the chorus part could probably be doubled by a couple of the principals.) |
Run Time | Around 30 minutes. [Estimated!] |
Music | None. |
Style | One-act comedy, set in the middle of a (disastrous) pantomime performance. |
Synopsis | It's Panto time again for the Witherington Over Mired Brook Amateur Theatrical Society (WOMBATS), but things aren't going well... Aladdin's had a nasty accident and had to be replaced at short notice, the script is illegible, the stage crew are in revolt and the lights and curtain aren't behaving themselves either. Can Widow Twankey hold things together? |

Roles | Minimum Male roles = 1. Minimum Female roles = 0. Minimum total with doubling = 25. Minimum total without doubling = 25. Chorus.

Run Time | Around 30 minutes. [Estimated!] |
Music | None. |
Style | One act play set in the imagination of a character fighting off an infection, where the protagonists - germs and blood cells - act-out their roles. Fantasy, but with a lot of educational value. |
Synopsis | When Mr Gauche accidentally hammers a nail through his thumb, he only wants medical help from the Doctor, but he gets a thorough lesson in the body's defence mechanisms anyway. A musical version is available here. |

Ted by Steven Stack Runner-up, 2018 Maine Principals' Association Drama Festival (Production by Central High School) |
Roles | Minimum Male roles = 1. Minimum Female roles = 4. Minimum total with doubling = 9. Minimum total without doubling = 11. No chorus. |
Run Time | Around 30 minutes. [Estimated!] |
Music | None. |
Style | A quirky one act play, retelling the tale of Rumplestiltskin. A companion (same style, different tale) to Hansel and Gretel... and Sadie (Of Edible Houses, Risky Bargains, and Other Grimm Happenings) |
Synopsis | This re-telling of the story has all the traditional aspects at first, but departs from the usual by dispensing with the royal marriage and the first-born part. A very off-beat comedy. |
