WHY IS THIS PLAY BEST FOR YOUR SCHOOL?

Easy Choice! Top Quality! All of these plays were professionally developed by ArtReach Touring Theatre or were commissioned by Professional LORTS like Florida Rep and Rep of St. Louis.  All have had professional tours to theatres and schools across the country.  Many have won awards in High School One Act Play Contests, Drama and Thespian Speech and Theatre Competitions.

Easy Staging and Travel!  Competitions rarely take place on your own stage!  These One Act Plays have been designed to travel to the Contest Host Theatre on that important competition day. All have easy staging, simple sets & costumes, minimal props, flexible tech for a mainstage or gym/open facility performance space.  At last your students can worry about their performance, not the set!

  Easy to Adapt with Flexible Casting!  When you license any of our One Act Plays you have permission to cut, adapt and adjust cast size!  You also have permission to make a video or DVD of the production!  At last, you are allowed to adapt a play to your students' needs!

Easy Budget!  These One Act Plays, can be successfully produced on limited budgets and by small or expanded student casts with little or no tech assistance.  Many have great background CDs for an easy, inexpensive professional touch! 

Easy Ordering!  Follow the steps to order and pay your royalty, once you've paid,  you're good to go!  No complicated applications and the endless trouble of getting permission to make changes for your students' needs!

Tried and True!  Our One Act Plays have been performed literally thousands of times by many professional theatres such as Stella Adler Theatre, Solano Youth Theatre, Nebraska Theatre Caravan, Singapore Repertory Theatre, George Street Players, Fulton Theatre Company, Indiana Repertory Theatre, Boarshead Theatre, Virginia Stage, Honolulu Theatre for Youth, Kennedy Center and Sundance Children's Theatre, to name a few.  High Schools, Junior Highs, Middle Schools have been performing these plays for over 30 years!

ANNIE OAKLEY
DIALOGUE SAMPLE

"Annie Oakley" is packed full of the riproaring fun of Buffalo's Wild West Show!  Annie falls in love with showman Frank, but first she's got to get a few things straight...

BILL: Before anybody knew what happened, Annie Oakley became the Wild West’s most shining star!

(ANNIE turns, ALL applaud.)

ANNIE: (hop and kick) Hot-diggety-dog!

(Sound subsides, JESS and BILL exit. FRANK helps ANNIE down.)

ANNIE: I hope you don’t mind, Frank.

FRANK: Mind? Why should I mind? Just ‘cuz nobody ever beat me in a shootin’ match before you? Just ‘cuz I used to be Buffalo Bill’s biggest star! What do I care if I get whupped by a girl?

ANNIE: You ain’t been whupped, Frank. Why, we’re a team, you and me. And as I think you noticed, I ain’t just a girl no more.

FRANK: (takes box from his vest) I been carrying this around for some time now. Weren’t sure if I should give it to you.

ANNIE: What is it? A peace pipe?

FRANK: I decided. If I can’t beat ya... better join ya’.

(Gives HER a box, SHE opens it, diamond ring. SHE smiles, away from HIM, then becomes solemn.)

ANNIE: You gotta understand, Frank. I come into my own now. I ain’t like other ladies. I come and go and do as I please. And no diamond ring is ever gonna change that.

(ANNIE holds ring out to HIM, HE covers HER hands with his.)

FRANK:Annie, you’s a army a polecats all bound up in five feet of woman. Don’t ever change, I don’t think I’d survive!

(THEY look at each other in silent agreement. FRANK starts to kiss HER, SHE puts out HER hand for a shake.)

ANNIE: Partners?

FRANK: Partners.

ANNIE: As for this ring, take it back. I got no use for diamonds. (walks away)

FRANK: But Annie, a fella’s supposed to give his gal a ring!

ANNIE: I got no use for "supposed to" neither. Buy me a horse I can call my own!

(We hear cheers: SOUND CUE #12.

JESS enters.)

JESS: (leading ANNIE, on "horseback")  Frank did just that and every night Annie rode into the arena atop her handsome white stallion, My Own, blowin’ kisses at her adoring fans...

(ANNIE turns on the cube, blowing kisses, SHE sees FRANK and blows a special kiss to HIM. HE catches it on his cheek.)

FRANK: That’s my Annie.
