This Phone Will Explode at the Tone

The phone. The most beautiful, the most wonderful communication device in all the world. Or is it...

Without the phone there'd be no obscene callers, no chatty Cathys who won't shut up, telemarketers who think the sun rises and sets with carpet cleaning, no awkward silences, no pressure to have an interesting phone message with all the bells and whistles.

And there'd be no Harry.

Poor Harry. Poor sweet desperate Harry, desperately trying to get up the nerve to call a girl and ask her to the dance. Don't hang up on Harry. Don't you dare! Don’t do it!

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.

Customer Comments

You are one of the Rock Stars of the Youth Theatre world in my estimation.

I just performed This Phone Will Explode at the Tone with my kids at District 7 One Act Festival. Your plays are GREAT to work with. The kids love the scripts and we can do lots of different things with them.
