Twins Samantha and Sawyer celebrate their twenty-third birthday reminiscing on past experiences together: silly arguments, broken arms, first kisses, etc. As the girls reminisce, the story builds to an emotional revelation that Sawyer was killed in a car accident when they were 19, and Samantha has kept the memory of her sister alive with their imagined chats. A funny but poignant piece ready to wow in break rounds.

Eunice Powell is not like most girls. Last year, she won Most Likely to Own a Zaxby’s Franchise. This year, she’s in love with the coolest guy in school. After passing out at a football tryout (which doesn’t go well), Eunice reflects on life, love, and what it means to own who you are.

Mother-Daughter Dialogues by Clyde Hendrickson

The best female-female duo script we've seen yet features a lifetime of a tumultuous mother-daughter relationship condensed into its most important moments, including: prom, college, the sex talk(s), marriage, pregnancy, divorce and disease. Filled with classic one-liners and touching, true-to-life moments, this play will be perfect for performers wanting to do an HI with a message or a DI with wit, or two girls looking for a truly entertaining Duo or Duet.

Girl in the Picture by Taylor Shann

When you grow up, you can grow closer to your friends. Sometimes, you can grow away from them. Jodi and Layla, two lifelong friends trying to survive the hell of high school, are in danger of doing just that. Miscommunication, music, instant messaging and a Christmas gift are all clues in this deconstruction of how fragile friendship can be. A 30 minute play of short scenes that can be easily cut down to fit a variety of dynamics between performers.

The Ultimate Drama by Garlock & Taylor

Ever see the dramatic moment of a play one too many times? This sarcastic and fast-paced satire mocks the overabundance of melodrama in modern playwriting and acting. Many of those dramas you love to hate are roasted in this fiery oven of hilarity.

Good Morning, Glory! by Ryan N. Ray

Glory, a rich and snobbish woman who is extremely lazy and loves nothing more than her morning pop tart alongside her bachelor of the day. Juanita, Glory's Spanish housemaid who just happens to be narcoleptic and, unbeknownst to Glory, a prankster.

Unfunny by Mike Beede

In Unfunny, an eccentric woman named Norma confronts the myth that women are not funny. Her research leads her from the Garden of Eden to Dr. Laura, with many humorous stops in-between. This play is our best bet for female performers looking for that perfect humorous piece.

Locked Away by Martin Aloia

Miss Erma Deveraux’s School for Civilized Young Ladies by Clint Snyder 

After being dropped off at Miss Deveraux's school, one sheepish girl learns what it takes to survive an etiquette teacher who has a lot in common with a strong-willed french dictator. A high-energy duo for two female performers who want to scream, yell, and get big laughs - and it could be just as fun performed by two guys.

The Emancipation of Mister Tinkles by Clint Snyder

After having her fill of his master’s foibles and follies, Miss Polka's dog decides to confront her and put an end to the suffocating relationship. However, through their unusual conversation (For instance, Mister Tinkles revealing she can talk and is actually a girl), they find they have more in common than they once thought, leading to a ridiculous twist at the end.

Front Porch Chronicles by Sydney Ryan

A lonely old man, Bobby, finds new meaning in life when the kid that lives next door, Sam, starts visiting him on his front porch every day. Sam's imagination and determination are perfect foils to Bobby's stubbornness and wisdom. A heartwarming play that recently won 2nd Place at NFL Nationals.

The Bright Side of Death by Carlos Mayas

Fred O'Gabbins - Freddo for short - finds and ancient D-Ring Binder with test keys for all the tests given at his high school. He is given the task of destroying the Binder and sets off on the quest with a cast of characters while being followed by a student, a rather odd creature named Micheal Kellum, who wants to steal the binder for himself. After a few “dramatic” scenes ripped straight from your favorite fantasy epic, it concludes happily, with Kellum nailing the role of Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire. It's absurd at points, but it's easy to follow, has several fun characters, and it hits all the right marks for this kind of silly satire.


Everything Falls Off by Clyde Hendrickson

A grizzled old man meets his young and chipper new roommate at the leper colony. The two deal with lost appendages, leper etiquette, shock treatment, and their strange, blossoming friendship. Wit and wackiness lie around every corner of this touching sequel to Everyone's Gonna Die.

Everyone’s Still Dead by Dudley Rental

In this fan's tribute to Clyde Hendrickson's classic Everyone's Gonna Die, we meet Ben and Tom again, fresh off their Trojan War adventure, and still very bored. This time, they choose to dive into the Revolutionary War, and along the way meet a cast of characters that had absolutely nothing to do with Colonial America but end up fighting the war anyway. A high-energy laugh riot that could have been written by Clyde himself.

Hamilton Sasquatch by Jeffery Longval and Kagan Hatch

What to do when a sasquatch eats your girlfriend? Well, rile up the townspeople and the police, of course. But the mayor is suspiciously hairy, the townspeople seem to like causing trouble more than helping out, so our hero is left to uncover the mystery of the sasquatch on his own. A very, very funny piece with perfectly-timed zingers and great characters. Highly recommended.

The Principals of Drugs by Lawson Powers

Mike, a high school student, decides to experiment with drugs.  Thankfully, his adventure is harmless, but does not go exactly as planned.  He ends up discovering a few interesting things about his school, including the fact that his seemingly uptight principal is capable of enjoying a good time.  Similar to a certain popular 80's movie that has nothing to do with breakfasts or clubs.  Great for a performer who likes to walk the line of outrageous and over-the-top.

After their trek through hell, Dante and Virgil stop in a bar outside Purgatory for a stiff drink. They recap their famous journey through the pits, and debate whether they should go on.

A smart and witty piece, perfect for performers looking for a script that showcases both their humorous and dramatic sides.

Duck Surgeon by Dudley Rental

Love Handles General Hospital and Mexican Grill is dealing with a medical crises - patients become infected with a plague of stupidity, and the resulting idiocy is putting their lives in danger.  The only person who can deal with this drama?  Dr. Duck, who, along with two trusted interns, gives people back their brainwaves, using one fowl trick after another.  Because Dr. Duck is a real duck.  He's a real doctor, too.  And he's our only hope.

The Altos by Clyde Hendrickson

What if Tony Soprano were only 5' 2", and he had the voice of midget on helium? Meet Tony Alto, who's in that very predicament. Watch as Tony avoids death at the hands of family and celebrities alike. Special guest appearances by Al Capone and lots of ducks.

Overcooked by Paul Owen

Scripts Included - Duo for Guy & Girl: 

NEW! Tutoring Session by Ellie Lynch

Male / Female Two-Character Duo or Humorous Interp
It’s a classic story. A nerdy girl tutors the football jock she has a crush on, then they fall hopelessly in love!

As they play together, both as children and as pretend-adults, they learn some secrets about life, parenthood, and the circumstances that have brought them together for their very first playdate. As clever as it is cute, this script gives performers the rare opportunity to showcase both their skills with characters and depth as actors.

Face Baggage by Nick Monroy

What if Facebook took place as a real life interaction? What if you walked in a room and a stranger started demanding all your life's most intimate details? In this oddly accurate and devastatingly funny play, that's exactly what happens to Danny. He has to sign up for Facebook in real life. His interviewer, Nikki, interprets his most harmless remarks like "it's complicated" into online gossip. And once the poking and the zombie attacks start, things get very weird, very fast. Don't miss this killer 2-person play, perfect for forensics.

Buds with Spuds by Frank Cernik

The Potato: boring root or world's most exciting superstar? This hilarious tour through the history of the potato takes us to the unknown corners of the spudding world, including Columbus first introducing the root to Native Americans, Steve Irwin's clash with wild potatoes in Idaho, a strange potato-worshipping cult, and even a battlefield of mashed and baked tubers.

Countdown to Love by Andrew Messer

Speed dating is always a recipe for disaster. But when John plunges into Super Speed Dating, he meets an array of crazies, con-artists and maniacs that could make anyone's head spin. After going through a dozen girls in eight minutes, is he left with anything but a sense of despair? Find out in this breakneck-paced comic scorcher. 

THE GR8 TXT MSG WAR by Hank Frederick

Hilarious, and totally unique: performers will have a blast speaking and acting in the language of text messages. A weeknight conversation between two high-schoolers (Girl & Guy), conducted completely over text message. The plot is basic: Girl is mad at guy for stupid joke, guy makes up for it. But with the added bonus of strange text abbreviations, spelled-out smiley faces, and of course some out-there autocorrect mistakes, the conversation becomes a rollercoaster of confusion and melodrama. One of our best new comedies.

The Assistant by Don Trickseven

Ripped from the headlines, this duo follows one night that will change the lives of a young married couple, as well as the fate of an entire university. Drew, an up-and-coming assistant basketball coach, comes home to tell his wife Mel that he saw the revered head coach of the team in a compromising position with a female student. Now the two must weigh all the good they have seen the coach do versus what they think they have to do in order to protect the students, and in the process traverse all the unseen fault lines of their own relationship and histories. Maddening, heartbreaking, and moving, this dialogue will have everyone in the audience riveted.

STOP! by Ray Nesrym

A Driver’s License: the ultimate prize for teenagers. Only one thing stands between this kid and his motorized freedom: his mom. In a scene all-to-familiar to many children and parents, this mother is determined to teach her child exactly how to drive safe, even if it means they both have a nervous breakdown in the process. A cringe-worthy laugh-fest that will have contestants and judges alike nodding their heads in recognition.

 

Minnesota by Spill Major

When a young woman boards a flight from New York City back home to Minnesota, she's just hoping it passes as quickly as possible. It's soon apparent that won't happen when she sits down next to Former President Grover Cleveland, who seems confused about exactly where he is, what he's doing, and who the President is on the dime. Also, he might just be a guy named Steve, although he'll never quite admit it. Although the two are from very different eras, which they thoroughly debate the merits of, they come to an understanding of each other over the course of their brief time together, in a charming and curious two person scene.

4-0 by Taylor Shann

A strong and fast-paced comedy for male or female performers.

Child's Play by Alyssa Zaczek

Ryan Richards is stuck. He's stuck in a humdrum marriage that's on the rocks and a dead-end job managing the toy store he thought he'd be owner of by now. In short, his life is average, until his former summer camp fling and first love Jessica Monroe drops in on him at work - and ends up with a job. Over the course of a single evening, Jessica turns Ryan's life upside down, and forces him to question whether or not his life is all he hoped it would be. But is Jessica hiding a tragic secret that may explain her whirlwind appearance in Ryan's world? Through a conversation that will change two lives, both Ryan and Jessica learn that love and life are not games that are meant for children.
