Comedy | Cast: 3m., 2w., with doubling, or up to 30+ (10m., 7w., 9+ either gender).
Simple set. | Run time: 30 min. | Code: TS6000/TM6000
This is a unique and fun retelling of the classic battle of wit and deception as told in the
beloved fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood. We meet Red (who is nobody’s fool) and the wolf
(who tries to be cool) and granny—well, sometimes she’s left in the dark! These lively roles
are great for teen and young adult actors. Totally RED! begins with a humorous version in
storybook theatre style. The story continues with three to five minute retellings of sections
within the tale, told in multiple styles. This play is as much fun for the performers as it is for
the audience. By Dinah Toups.

The spirits of William and Mary, a teenage couple, awaken into a void. Although they try to
nourish their love amidst the confusing emotions and events of their lives, misunderstanding and
fear create terrible consequences, turning William and Mary’s romance into stunning tragedy.

community of Margate on Prince Edward Island. By Daniel Arnold and Medina Hahn.

Run time: 30 min. | Code: TK5000
Nancy thinks the new neighbors are creepy and watching them, but her husband, Don,
thinks she is imagining things. When the new neighbors show up uninvited, Don and Nancy
are torn between wanting to find out who they are and wanting to get rid of them. But that
won’t be easy, because the neighbors have an agenda of their own, and it’s stranger than
anyone could have imagined. By Stephen Gregg.

Uncool
Comedy | Cast: 3m., 6w., extras as desired. | Single set | Run time: 45 min. | Code: U24000
In this teen comedy, Jenny is part of the popular crowd that rules the school, while Beth
is the new girl trying desperately to fit in. Together they must come to terms with what it
means to be cool, what is uncool and why it is so important to simply be yourself. Issues of
self-worth, mutual respect and tolerance of those who are different are explored against a
backdrop of humorous teen-oriented dialogue that will leave audiences dizzy with laughter.
By Vin Morreale Jr.

Us and Them
TIMELY AND RELEVANT Drama | Cast: Variable from 6 upward, either gender.
Bare stage with props | Run time: 25 min. | Code: U15000
A meaningful play that begins with two groups of wanderers looking for a place to settle.
They agree to share and mark the line between their territories, then build a small wall. The
wall is built higher and then still higher. Suspicion and mistrust grow to the point where the
groups must inevitably explode in conflict. By David Campton.
