Help! My Class Is Overrun By…

by Lindsay Price

A collection of 8 short plays for middle school performers, written for mid size to large casts. Every play is set in a classroom for simple, flexible staging, and each centers on an over-the-top crisis. What do you do when it starts raining inside your classroom? Or when your classmates turn into obedient zombies?

The collection offers a wide range of role sizes and character challenges to suit different skill levels.

The plays can be performed in any order, combined as a one act, or staged together as a full length show. Includes character profile questions for student actors.
