Customer Reviews

For our younger actors, "Plays in Ten" provided blackout skit possibilities for them to develop their skills and entertain others before they have earned major roles in a full-length play.

Jean Wall, Brush High School, Lyndhurst, OH 44124

976-LUST The audience loved it as much as the student director and actors did. The show allowed the cast to work on their physical comedy.

C. J. Breland, Asheville High School, Asheville, NC

Samaritan Well received. Very good play for an all girl drama club to produce; meaningful, not preachy.

Louise Brazier, William Mason School, Choiceland, SK

End of the Tunnel: This was an excellent play. The audience was on the edge of their seats. The young lady who played the mother was captivating! I heard several people say that it was Hitchcock-like in its effect.

Edna Bates, McLean County High School, Calhoun, Ky.

976-Lust: A hilarious romp that makes you wish it wasn't taking you there, and it doesn't!

Eric Myers, Washington High School, Massillon, Ohio

Slightly Left: a very funny "I Know Somebody Like That" show with a great selection of characters.

Eric Myers, Massillon Washington High School, Massillon, Ohio

Lessons in Fear: Delightful and silly. Excellent bookend piece to "The Tooth Hurts" (contained in Ten-Minute Theatre by the same author).

Mitch Travis, Elizabeth High School, Elizabeth, Colo.

Samaritan: This play was well received by our senior audience. The set was simple. Laughs were many, but the message was clever and sincere.

Pat Mahlandt, Seven Lakes Thespians, Ft. Myers, Fla.

976-LUST: Our audiences loved this play! The staging requirements are minimal, which made it perfect for inclusion in our set of student-directed plays.

C.J. Breland, Asheville High School, Asheville, N.C.

Lessons in Fear: The inept protg Leon and the retiring Boogeyman provided great acting opportunities and plenty of laughs.

Denise Centola, Mandeville High School, Mandeville, La.

Hints, Tips, and Tricks

Lessons in Fear: The key to this is the right Leon (main character). Use this and "The Tooth Hurts" from Ten-Minute Theatre by the same author as opening and closing act for a night of one-acts.

Mitch Travis, Elizabeth High School, Elizabeth, Colo.

976-LUST: Casting young people who embrace the awkwardness of the characters is essential. We put various lines the girl says on 4 X 6 cards so she could search for an appropriate one and read itÑ"hunk muffin."

C.J. Breland, Asheville High School, Asheville, N.C.

We combined this script with Ten-Minute Theatre. This really was a good way to give all of our students a strong part to play.
