With stopwatch in hand, the exceptionally organized and time-conscious stage manager meticulously micromanages every minute of the Medea audition process for the local theatre. After dealing with some very colorful actors, the stage manager loses all patience, and we soon find out that one of the actors is not who he/she appears to be. This play is theatrical mayhem with a twist that will have you rolling in the aisles!

All I Really Need to Know I Learned by Being in a Bad Play

All I Really Need to Know I Learned by Being in a Bad Play

By Werner Trieschmann.

Product Code: AC7000

One-act Play
Recommended For: Middle School | High School | College Theatre | Touring Group
Cast Size: 3m., 3w., 11 either gender, expandable.

Livestream and Record & Stream Rights Available

Approx. Run Time: 40 min.

Based on several disastrous theatrical experiences, this play examines the process of putting on a show that is less than good. We go from the audition—where the director is more worried about roast beef than paying attention to the warm-up exercise, and the neurotic cast pretends to be bacon—to rehearsals—where a passive-aggressive stage manager gives everyone grief. This bad play within a play won't win any awards, but will keep audiences in stitches.
