The Perils of Modern Education is a hilarious romp through the chaos of school life - standardized theatre tests, caffeine withdrawal, even Shakespeare stressing over his college essay! Gender-flexible, easy to stage, and full of laughs.
Life, Off Book
by Scott Giessler
Ophelia and Jeb have a relationship that's like a well-built theatre set. It looks great on the outside, but an empty shell on the inside. Ophelia is a phenomenal dancer and actress who's constantly afraid. Jeb is Ophelia’s mild mannered fake boyfriend who is also a closeted gay man. What happens when they have to tear themselves away from the script and live life off book?
This show has flexible cast with great opportunities for ensemble work, dancers and musicians. Don't have those? It can also be performed minimally.
