Description

What's your driving story? When did you get your first car? Did it take more than one try to get your license? Did your dad ever shout, "Do I have to stop the car?"

What does the car mean to you?

The car is freedom. The car is a trap. The car is your dream. The car is held together by duct tape. The car is being pulled over! The car is lost in the parking garage... somewhere... B10... D27... D37... 47...

What's your driving story?

This is a vignette play! What is a Vignette Play?

What is a Vignette Play?

You want...
...a play for your whole class.
...a large cast.
...a simple set.
...simple costumes.
...a play that suits a large group of beginners. Or a smaller advanced group.

Then you are looking for a vignette play.

A vignette play is a collection of short scenes on a theme. Theatrefolk vignette plays cover themes from waiting to driving to communication to hair to snow and even to Shakespeare! You'll love working with the variety and flexibility of the scenes. Your actors will love the fast pace and fun characters.

There's more. Every Theatrefolk vignette play holds the unexpected. A showcase monologue. A dramatic moment. A change in form. A left turn.

Experience these fun, joyful, energetic ensemble-driven competition-ideal pieces.

The value of Theatrefolk vignette plays is clear on the page and on the stage.
