Synopsis
Some boy is always getting stuck with an awful "lemon" for his date at the annual dance. The boys have decided to establish a consolation prize to be awarded to the boy who gets stuck. They call it The Stuck Pot. The girls retaliate by establishing a stuck pot of their own. So much money is collected for the two stuck pots that everyone (almost!) wants to win. Alice is particularly anxious to win. She's not much interested in boys and she'd like that "pot" in order to buy a microscope. Alice is a whiz at chemistry and she cooks up a unique new "perfurme," the smell of which should send any boy running for the hills. Meanwhile, some of the other girls are vying to be the most unattractive, and it results in probably the most riotously funny dance scene your audience will ever see. The dance reaches a humorous climax and a delightful resolution.

Customer Reviews
Clean, wholesome, funnyÑI laughed out loud at the dance scene as I read it. Interesting characters, easy to cast. Can be done with a fairly simple set design. Costumes are not difficult. Not a heavy prop show. A fresh story that high school students can relate to.
We have done this production twice and it was a great success both times. The students love the story line and the audience response was fantastic. Lots and lots of laughs at both productions.
